you know the early pictures of the beach at Playa Dorado reminds me why i wonder why people like the place so much....the free beach at Sosua is way cleaner a beach....and if people have ever gone to the really georgous beaches on this island, then they would see that Playa Dorado offeres barely a so so beach....the water isnt near as clean, and the junk that washes up all day long, makes it even worse...
I also love the LOOK of the southwest beaches, I have been there and have taken some photos as well, that I have posted up in the past. The water contrast is amazing...so many blues!!!, but the large pebbles and steep beaches just wont pull the lazy tourist, who wants to lay on a lounge chair near the water....
Also a secret to a nice trip to a mountain river to to make sure you are there well after a rain...like at least 3 or 4 days.....we drove over the river in the Jamao Norte area and the water was a nice aqua green -blue, on the way to Sosua. But on the return trip is was a muddy brown.....totally different .
