You must be thinking about las Ruinas La Isabela.
The town of La Isabela is not on the ocean and has no beach.
Villa Isabela and La Isabela are one and the same.
You're talking about a little coastal village, las Ruinas La Isabela.
La Isabela is a big place inland, as shown on the map.
Touring the ruins is well worth the trip.The archaeological dig is managed by the University of Indiana and they have amassed a wonderful two gallery museum of artifacts. As it is a national park the entrance fee is a modest $RD100 and you can have a guided or self guided tour.
Don't ruinyou day trying to get to the town of La Isabela. YOu have to cross the Bajabonito River and there is no bridge...so a 4 x 4 is absolutely needed, plus, there is nothing to see in the town, except a typical little Dominican village.
So, stay on the north side of the river and explore the ruins of the first European settlement in the New World. you can even see the old quarry where they cut the stones for the first buildings...
