    Rio San Juan

    Thinking about checking some other places out in the DR with some day trips during my next travel to the DR

    I have heard that Rio San Juan has some of the nicest beaches on the North Coast.

    Was wondering what other's have to say about nice beaches to travel to around the Sosua area.

    Didn't find to much about it here.

    It looks like there are guagua's that travel there which would prolly be the cheapest but sometimes cheapest doesn't always equal best. Any recommendations on the best way to get there and back.

    ie private taxi, public taxi, rent a car for the day, hire a driver etc.

    Not worried about the monger opportunities there as sometimes it is good just to get away for a day and relax and see the countryside.

    I think its about 40 minutes from Sosua. I have gone both by Gwa gwa and public taxi. Both work well.

    There are a number of great beaches a bit further than Rio San Juan. Playa Grande is one very wide beach with rather big waves. And a bit further was one small very calm beach but cant remember the name of it. I normally rent a car so don't know any other way to get there.

    Hola Jd,

    The beaches in the Rio San Juan area are quite nice. There is a nice beach north west of the lagoon(as you approach Laguna Gri Gri circle to your left.) Just past the town is
    Playa Caleton where food and drink can be purchased at the beach restaurants and consumed at a beachside table under the trees. The locals are friendly and helpful. A little spanish
    goes a long way, but there are always locals that speak english. The best way to get there is by carrito. The carritos leave from the lot across from the Texaco gas station in Sosua and cost
    100 RD each way.

    Went to Rio de Jamao last week. About 40 minutes past Cabarete. Nice place to go with some friends and cookout, swim, dance, drink, etc.
