Will be in Puerto Plata for the day and looking for a recommendation of a nice beach with lounge chair & umbrella rental. Thinking about El Pueblito/El Chapparal but not sure if this is open to the public or restricted. Thank you!

I would recommend Costambar or Playa Dorada.

Swimming? There? Oh my...

The restaurant looks nice. What is good there?

We were there a few weeks ago with a bunch of locals and a few tourists. No skin rashes so I guess the water was fine 😁.
Lunch was fish, veggies, and the ever-present tostones. And beer!

That is the beach between Playa Dorada and Costa Dorada. The French restaurant is quite good.
I have been there many times but didn't remember the name, probably people rename the beach after the grow of the population.
Back in the 80s I used to walk on the sand from Long Beach to Playa Dorada.
There was not naighborhood in between just woods.

I would not go in that water on the Malecon in Puerto Plata , but I guess that is just me.
I always wonder who made and ate the first tostone and said this is good, let's make more.
