Puerto Plata’s crown jewel attraction offers a day of hiking through thick forest, crossing footbridges and passing numerous flora before eventually reaching a rocky hilltop where you’ll begin making your way down by jumping or sliding down a series of waterfalls!
Located just before Punta Rucia, Playa Ensenada is a favorite gathering spot of families on the weekends, known for its perfectly white sand beach, ultra-shallow blue waters, and rows of frituras or shacks with fresh fish cooking, and other specialties al fresco. Grab a palapa-shaded table, or a beach chair, and spend all day here in an authentic Dominican beach atmosphere. Boats also depart from Playa Ensenada to offshore Cayo Arena.
