Sosua is for good value chasers and explorers looking for an active beach town. Sosua is centrally located on the North Coast, close to many other destinations you can explore on your own or on excursion. You will find many small hotels as well as large all-inclusive resorts. 
Sosua is the Acapulco of the Dominican Republic. You could say that this is where tourism first began back in the 70s and 80s. 
 

For the most part you can get around Sosua on foot if you are staying in the neighborhoods of El Batey or Charamicos. The streets are well lit and there are lots of people outside day and night. Motorcycle rentals are common. And there are many minibuses and taxis for trips to Puerto Plata, Playa Dorada or Cabarete.

People used to say that Sosua got up when Puerto Plata sleeps. But do not expect much from Sosua nightlife anymore, with less than a handful of night spots remaining.
