I will be visiting Sosua for the 1st time in a few months, but i will be alone in a resort only because im just intrested to be in DR and family or friends arent able to come..i just wanted to know if it will be safe for a young 26 year old female to be traveling outside the resort alone?

You are in more danger from the sankies at the resort than from exploring the town.

Why Sosua of all places ???- that makes absolutely no sense for the single female traveler

Must admit I'm with Dolo on this one, seems like probably the daftest decision you could make. You are relying on meeting others there and at your age, alone 3 is a crowd if you get my meaning. It is safe enough if you know what you are walking into, but if you are not a regular Caribbean visitor then I'd say it isn't safe to be out and about yourself, no.
This isn't a Sosua bashing thing it is just a silly decision unless you are looking to go and learn the ropes of a new trade, and then you will absolutely be unsafe.
Go to Cabarete and try to visit Sosua a few day/nights.

I don't believe you are real, I think you should go to Sosua and enjoy yourself with all the other single girls there, you never know, you might fit right into the mix.
Have fun!

I've been to TA a couple of times and they do seem to cut anything that might shade the light from any destination. It has a policy of if it doesn't promote or sound good to everyone then it doesn't make the forum.
But to know Sosua you don't need to be on any site devoted travel site, just google it and you will know.
I say that but funnily enough my first trip to Sosua was completely innocent, I looked for a bargain to the Caribbean and got sent to the Playa Dorada complex. 24 hours there and was needing to get out, took a cab to Sosua and I thought the girls were easy, simply a different culture and so obviously was quite into it, until it clicked and all of a sudden I didn't feel quite so special, lol. So there are innocent bargain hunters that will take 2 weeks in Sosua at CM unaware of what or where they are going, but I don't believe anyone who knows of this site possibly could be so unaware. She's probably a he on 'I miss sexy chics trip', 'oh, I'll be pink'.

Pink,

Where will you be staying?

I go to Sosua, and I think it's great. The beach is nice, and there is a great flea market. It is also an easy ride on the guagua to get into Puerto Plata. I also enjoy the museum attached to the little synagogue.

However, I am much older than you (I am assuming), and I do not go out at night.

What everyone is alluding to, but not coming out and saying, is there is a great deal of prostitution in Sosua.

Hmmm, I think you will find the new term is 'escort' as apparently only escorted women can walk the streets after 10pm or something silly, or am I being silly and that was all just a big joke?

Forget Boca Chica LB, it's disgustingly bad.
For you and the original poster Cabarete makes the most sense, more International tourists and less hookas. plenty to do and plenty of budget hotels. You can make an easy day trip to Sosua beach for a fun day.
