Nagua - Safe for first time visit
JR hartley is correct, it is definitely not the most exciting place in the world but it is reasonably safe, no different from similar sized Dominican cities. It is well located between Rio San Juan and Samana so it might not be a bad base for travels in the north east coast. The town is OK, it has a couple decent supermarkets and some nice residential areas but it is far from a tourist destination.
Nagua La ciudad de los cuatro vientos very popular town in the DR because the women are addressed as one of the hotest around the country "Entra si quires y sal si puedes" popular slang of this town, what it means is that if you go to Nagua it will be hard for you to go out agan as the girls will get your heart tied. The name of one of the neighborhoods of this town is "Pantie Flojo" I'm no kidding you it is real, in this neighborhood girls are so putas that when they see a guy driving around in a nice car the panties will come down automatically.

Crap, and there was me scrolling around Nagua in Easter and nobody mentioned that neighborhood to me, I think Easter would have been more exciting if I knew the existence of that happy neighborhood.
It a great choice,and no tourists to muck it up...live in that part of Samana and visit Nagua occasionally,it is a very nice small city,and fairly safe to walk around....and the women are as advertised...

When I had been in Las Terrenas for a year with no car, dreaming perhaps of finding my way to go on a shopping trip to La Sirena at San Pedro de Marcoris, my friend called me one morning to say that she was going to Nagua to buy food for her goat and did I want to come. BE STILL MY HEART!! A TRIP OUT OF TOWN! even paradise can get boring, and LT is a long way from anywhere (or was, certainly before the new road)
WE went, we bought goat food, we had lunch, I went shopping, HEY IMAGINE THESE INCREDIBLE RAYBANS for ONLY 90 PESOS! we drove home.... but since the road over the mountains was half washed out THAT was exciting... And there is a nice stretch on the beach
but hard to say that Nagua is a tourist destination
except perhaps if you are looking for goat food
can't comment on the panty thread
but that might work in well with the goat food thing, huh?

I agree. Really. I think it is up to all of here on DR1 to band together to try to attract a higher level of tourists, who will not leave our locals in rags.
let them find their own goat friendly hotels, I say.....

I don't know about Nagua but in Santo Domingo a guy was deeply in love with his goat, he even combed her hair and made 'colitas' with her. The story broke out when they got him inside a caba?a with his chiva celebrating the 14th of February, and I'm not joking..
Fred just done a month in Nagua
it is the town where my in law,s live
any more info you need pm me
tourist bashing, not very attractive.
why would ask about safety ? if you're thinking about safety, then you probably shouldn't go to the DR. from my travels i haven't considered any place as dangerous. use common sense and you'll enjoy your stay.

One only makes some futile attempts to establish some sort of small little red light district on DR1 so that those of us who wish to mention to other English speakers here in the Capital that one was discussing something "On the Board, at DR1" are not greeted with
"EEW, You actually read that stuff, I went a few times and found the postings pretty disgusting." or
"Oh, I thought that was just about where to find women"
