For saleLiving in Sosúa
Sosúa is the most established expat and retiree town on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. It sits on a sheltered bay about ten minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport (POP) and has the widest choice of English-speaking services, clinics and restaurants on this stretch of coast.
The town has three distinct parts. El Batey, east of the main beach, is where most foreign buyers look: condos, restaurants, shops and services within walking distance of the sea. Los Charamicos on the west end is a lively local Dominican neighbourhood, and Sosúa Abajo is an inland residential area.
Playa Sosúa is a crescent of sand about a kilometre long with calm, reef-sheltered water for swimming and snorkelling; quieter Playa Alicia lies right next to it. The bay is one of the north coast’s main diving areas, with around twenty dive sites a few minutes by boat from the beach.
Sosúa also has an unusual history: between 1940 and 1945 several hundred Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria settled here. Their synagogue in El Batey is still active, and the Jewish Museum is being renovated.
