San Felipe de Puerto Plata is the capital of the Puerto Plata province, on the Dominican Republic’s north coast along the Atlantic Ocean. The city is best known for its beaches.
Playa Dorada is the most famous, with a long stretch of golden sand backed by resorts and an 18-hole golf course.
In the heart of the city is the historic old town, centered around Fortaleza San Felipe. Built in the 1500s, this Spanish fortress once protected the port from pirates. Today, it’s a small museum with historical and military exhibits.
Puerto Plata blends beach time with a real sense of history, perfect for travelers who want more than just sun and sand.
