Situated 45 miles from San Francisco de Macorís, Puerto Plata is a popular stop on most people’s itineraries. Make your way here to access Playa Dorada and Ocean World Adventure Park, two excellent attractions to mark on your map. Nothing says living big like a road trip does, so keep on cruising to Santo Domingo. It’s 60 miles away and also offers a few worthwhile sights, such as Parque Colon and Cathedral of Santo Domingo.
