This is a great locals beach on Costa Dorada in the DR. A short cab ride from the Amber Cove cruise port (~$20 pp round-trip, but the driver stays with you all day to make sure you don't miss the boat!) and never crowded. A couple of loungers and an umbrella set you back $20 and 1L Presidente beers (yes, larger than a 750 ml bottle of wine) cost $5 (not a typo). There is a small market (called the Orange Market if your cabbie needs a landmark), with only a few pushy folks (Mr. Cheap will remind you of his name every time he sees you), a couple of small restaurants (neither of which is noteworthy) and fairly modern bathroom facilities. We go here every time we cruise to Amber Cove! UPDATE: 2 loungers and an umbrella is now only $15, but the infamous 1L Presidentes are gone (a 750ml from Victor at the Orange Market will only set you back $4 USD). If you are feeling a little boujee, there is a new, fancier beach bar just next to the Orange Market, but I doubt beers are $4! Still our go-to beach when in Puerta Plata!

I really want to give every beach in the domincan republic 5 stars because the ugliest beaches here are better then any beach I've seen in the USA. But comparing it to other beaches here it's ok it just doesnt have that 5 star vibe to it maybe even 3 star compared to other local beaches

Nice in the eye and insta photos. In reality it is super filthy full with plastic everywhere. If you go on a Saturday it is disgusting. Food quality poor and prices very expensive

Loved this beach, not crowded, shopping and food available.

I had a great time! Water was great and it was clean all around. I would definitely go back.

This is one of my favourite beaches. It isn't usually crowded, but if you want people around, just go a bit further where the restaurants are, that's the crowded place. The waves can be either calm or a bit aggressive, try you luck lol. Things here aren't that expensive though and there's parking as well, but you must not enter via Cofresi's entrance.

Didn't want to go there. It took 30 minutes to get there and my cabin friend wanted to go

Great beach, it is well maintained an kept. It is very spacious with nearby restaurants to grab some food and drinks.

Although the waves were strong, the servers on the beach were so nice. I ordered food and had the best Dominican fish dish. Nicely seasoned and well prepared.

Beautiful beach Muy linda la playa 🇩🇴

Very nice and pretty and very clean

If u want to sit in chair with umbrella... you have to buy drinks or something... otherwise Irather bring my own chairs, cooler and snacks... Their drinks r over prices

Nice Beach to relax
