harassment at the beach

[waytogo]

If it isn't to far away for her, the beach in front of the Waterfront resaurant in Sosua is as private as can be with no need to get a hotel pass.

Just returned from that beach and nobody bothers anybody there. A lot of privacy and close to many decent hotels and restraunts. The women are not harrassed at al. Metro is a 5 minute walk away.

Is she going to be able to get there from the Capital and back in a day?
what METRO?

Yes, even dress code conscious women will have a tale of a Gringo having walked up to them and asked "how much" to tell... but this is not what they experience all day.

i have a friend who is a beautiful young dominicana with a figure to die for. we were meeting her (several people) in playa dorada and she called me from the gate that she was not let is because the guards told her she is a puta and cannot enter.
miesposo went to pick her up - he is dominican but gringo looking and he drives a big jeepeta. he drove outside the gate, let her come in and drove right in without any problems (i presume the guards were then sure she was a prostitute after all ). she was dressed in long pants, top and a short sleeve jacket. perfectly normal clothes, nothing provocative.
she tells me she gets harassed all the time, by dominicans and gringos alike.

It's a bit straying from the original subject when I add to this.
What the guards DO let in at Playa Dorada, ARE putas. But ONLY the ones they have a deal (kick back arrangement) with (they go shake their legs at the local discotecas and have unexacting tourists fall for them). irate:

A couple of months ago, we had reports here telling us about the Cabarete police arresting all sorts of Dominicanas on and around the beaches. Some "caught" where walking with their real husbands... on vaccation! :bored:

In other words, corruption, compulsive stupidity, interest, tigueraje and so forth DO play a role too, but should not be taken as the rule which ought to govern a lady's every day life.

... J-D.

lol i was about to say....playa dorada is always full of putas so they clearly let a whole lot of them in. they are just very random and arbitrary about how and when they enforce their weird rules. it sucks but it is what it is.

This reminded me of 16 years ago when one of my colleagues working for Puerto Plata News wrote an article about prostitutes in Playa Dorada (& other parts of PP) and the reaction she got was amazing. Utter denial from the hotels association, angry letters to the Editor, cancelled subscriptions, outraged advertisers - the works. So the harassment then was to the woman who wrote a pretty mild but accurate article. Part of the 'blinkers on' culture of the DR........:cheeky:

Back to the OP

My daughter's nerves are completely fried from living in the capital, and she desperately needs to relax at the beach. Her fiance works all day, though, and she says she can't go to the beach by herself because she is treated like a prostitute. (She said that even when she has gone with just her girlfriends, she is still harassed.) Any suggestions? She really needs to find somewhere peaceful to relax. Thanks. (I am up here in the States; otherwise, of course, I would go with her.)

If she is living in the Capital... she should see if she can join a club at one of the hotels like the Melia, or Dominican Fiesta... where, for a month the price of a day pass,,, she can go and swim every day and NO ONE will bother her.

you, as her dad, may have to pay her entry fee

Sounds like maybe daughter just doesn't like DR.

great Idea

this would be a great idea, most of the hotels have these day pass's when she is feeling stressed just go to the pool. no hassle

The Melia no longer has day passes
