A true resort-lover's paradise, Puerto Plata was developed purely as a vacation destination, with a Robert Trent Jones, Jr.-designed golf course, a riding stable, a huge assortment of water sports and a long stretch of sandy beach. You can visit the Museo de Ambar Dominicano to view a large collection of exotic amber specimens and Fort San Felipe, the oldest fort in the New World.
