white sand beaches in puerto plata area
No white Sand
in Playa Dorada, goleden brown sand is the closet to describe it.
Water is not as crystal clear as Bayahibe.
Sorry only my observation.

A hillbilly's thoughts on water clearness
It seems that early in the morning the water is much clearer than say, at 10 or 11 a.m. I think the reason is that when the wind comes up and makes larger and larger waves, these, in urn, stir up more and more stuff, making visibility more difficult.
I always used to snorkel as the sun came up and had good visibility, but that was at Punta Ruc?a.
As for Playa Dorada, I have seen the beach and it has nice waves for body surfing, but I think it might have been rough for a beginner...
There are so many beaches that you can sort of pick and choose.
Out at Las Galeras or Playa Rincon there are nive beaches with calm waters....In Nagua they have some waves...

White sand beaches in Puerto Plata
If you're staying in Sosua or Cabarete, the sand is light beige and the water is clear.
