Sosua - Caribbean Living Dominican Republic

Sosua is a small but bustling town in the north coast of the Dominican Republic. It's a popular tourist destination, favored by Brits, Germans, Canadians, Americans and others who appreciate the laid-back lifestyle, the all-year round sunshine, the beautiful beach and the friendly locals.

Sosua is a great place to live whether you are a family, a young couple or retirees. There's a wide range of places to rent, ranging from low cost condos and apartments, to family homes and up to large luxury villas.

Sosua boasts a wide range or restaurants and bars, so night life is well catered to. The beach in the center of Sosua separating the El Batey side from Los Charamicos is the perfect place to wile away your day, take in a bit of atmosphere and soak up the sun.

Sosua now has a few private schools catering to kids of all ages. Such schools will generally follow a largely American or English curriculum. Private clinics and doctors are available to look after your medical needs, and you'll find that quality treatment is much cheaper than in North America and Western Europe.

KITEBOARDING, WINDSURFING, AND SURFING

The Dominican Republic is known as the kiteboarding capital of the world among those who travel the water sports circuit. In fact, the Kiteboarding World Cup has been held in the Dominican Republic town of Cabarete the past four years.

In this area on the North Coast, the perfect blend of wind, water and waves create incomparable kiteboarding and windsurfing conditions. Windsurfers also flock to the wind and make an annual pilgrimage to Cabarete for the annual World Cup Windsurfing Competition held every June.

Hotels that cater to kiteboarders and windsurfers are dotted along the golden beaches of Cabarete's &Kite Beach. The opportunity to mingle with some the world's greatest athletes and hear tales of catching the perfect wind are around every corner.

The southern coastal waters just west of Santo Domingo are also speckled with the bright colored sails of windsurf boards. But, these are not the only boards to be found in the Dominican Republic. Surf boards also hit the waves in search of the perfect point break and ride on the barrels.
