Sosua , Cabarete or Boca Chica
ha ha.
I wouldn't even consider Boca Chica, IMHO it has gone to hell and the only places I stop by in Boca Chica is Boca Chica Marina or Neptune.
Cabarete and to a much higher degree Sosua you will meet plenty of "local girls" but 90%+ are of the pay to play variety especially in Sosua.
Having said that Sosua has a nice beach with older laid back restaurants, while Cabarete is more of a ocean sports beach with lots of Kite Surfing and a more upscale type of restaurants.
The 2 towns are not far apart so you could easily see experience both.
Have fun, don't flaunt your Rolex and use common sense and you should have a great time
ENJOY!

Sosua and Cabarete gives a bit of a different atmosphere. Sosua beach has a very nice set-up with shadow trees where the restaurants/beach bars are located and a lot of value for the money when it comes to food and drinks. Also several nice dinner restaurants in the town. I like to go to Cabarete on a Thursday and Saturday for a good night out (more enjoyable crowd in my opinion). A few more upscale restaurants in Cabarete and bit more fancy set-up at the beach restaurants/bars in Cabarete. Platinum gym in Sosua is a very nice gym with excellent view over Sosua bay if you fancy working out while on vacation. If you speak Spanish and want to experience more local bar hang-out you can always visit a Sunday afternoon/evening party at the gas station in Sabaneta.
I have been to Boca Chica twice and Cabarete/Sosua 4 times and I will be back next month. I generally like Sosua/Cabarete more than Boca Chica but Boca Chica is close to the capital which has a lot of night life. As the previous poster said, Sosua and Cabarete are so close that it's not an either or.
I have not been in like 2 years myself. During the times I went in the past it was decent amount of people. Maybe like 50-80.
Stay in Sosua, day trip to (should you feel the desire):
Cabarete - Good strip of beach bars with various specialties/specials , visit Frank12 from this site at Rockys AQUA to get a myriad of stories, HE WONT BORE YOU

Ok, I'll bite... where are you flying from? If you are coming from Canada I would fly into El Catey (AZS) airport and go to Las Terreans. Much nicer beaches than Sosua or Cabarate and some "stimulating" night life.
