You can do any watersport you can think of here. The island is located on the sheltered side of a coral reef at the centre of a sub-tropical paradise, both on land and under water.

Ponce is on the South coast of the island of Puerto Rico and is surrounded by beautiful beaches. In addition to the many museums, the sugar mill and the Indian Ceremonial Park are definitely worth a look. The Museum of Art has paintings and sculptures from both the classic and the modern era. The collection of pre-Raphaelite paintings from the 19th century is considered to be one of the best in America. A large shopping arcade, Atocha Pedestrian Mall, has been the commercial centre of Ponce since 1900. The Casitas, the typical small houses occupied by the firemen of Parque Bombas, are also worth a visit. Visitors can see the entire city, from the centre to the Caribbean beach on a ride on the Chu Chu train.

The peninsula of Samaná, which joined with the mainland over the course of hundreds of years, is one of the most beautiful regions in the Dominican Republic with its its picture-postcard palm-lined beaches and the finest sand. Rustling forests of coconut trees, crooked hills, lonely coves with glowing white sand, secluded waterfalls, tiny villages and the peaceful capital of Santa Barbara de Samaná are what makes the peninsula so enchanting. Small islands, the Cayos, seem to simply float in the blue waters before the coast. The most famous of these is Cayo Levantado, with the idyllic sandy beach on which the "Bacardi" ad was filmed. Another attraction are the hump-backed whales, which come to the bay of Samaná every winter to breed and raise their young.

Puerto Plata is one of the oldest cities in the Dominican Republic, founded in 1496 by Columbus' brother, Bartolomeo. In the 19th century the city experienced an economic boom on account of the harbour. The old town centre, featuring mainly wooden houses built in that Victorian gingerbread-house style, is well worth a visit. In the small streets around the Parque Central with a nostalgic glorieta pavillion there are lots of little shops, restaurants and cafés. The sights include San Felipe fort, built in the 16th century as protection against the many pirate attacks. Just next to it is the harbour, where stranded ships are a reminder of the hurricanes that have ravaged the coast.
