Sosua History

Sosua is another town on the Dominican Republic North Coast and is situated between Puerto Plata Airport and Cabarete. Some 600 Eastern European Jews settled in this little town in the early 1940s escaping from Germany’s purge. Many of the town’s streets are named for Ashkenazic Jews. There is still a small synagogue in the El Batey neighborhood of the town, occasionally used by Jews from the surrounding communities, as well as a small museum documenting the history of the Jewish community in Sosua.

The Beaches

Playa Sosua is the town’s main beach. It is a fun, colorful, and lively beach, approximately one kilometer long, with a row of prefabs along the back, selling food, drinks, and souvenirs. This beach is very popular and offers a superb option for snorkeling enthusiasts. From the beach, you can swim out to the reef, about 100m offshore, and swim with the colorful fishes that abound here.

Water Sports

For the more adventurous dive centers offer equipment and diving courses from beginner to advanced including PADI dive instruction. Daily dive and snorkel trips are available daily.

At the other end of Playa Sosua beach is Los Charamicos. This is more a local’s neighborhood and residential area and as such is somewhat more run-down and lively than El Batey.
