Beachgoers can access private resort beaches or public sands for swimming and snorkeling in the Atlantic waters. Cultural tours often feature visits to historic landmarks like the 16th-century Fort San Felipe or the amber museum in Puerto Plata, where the port’s namesake gemstone is displayed. For a more relaxed pace, travelers may choose catamaran cruises or jeep safaris through local villages.
