Puerto Plata republica dominicana - Homes in Sosúa Cabarete

SOCIAL LIFE IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

With so many people moving to the DR either permanently or for part of the year, many expatriates find time to get together in one of several social groups. These social groups get together at least once a month to try out a new restaurant or to enjoy the luxury of a dinner in one of the better restaurants along the north coast. One such group is called ‘The Dinner Club’ and operates in the Sosúa – Cabarete area.

Sport is catered for well on the island with many golf courses, stables and riding clubs, tennis clubs and beach sports. Cabarete also plays host to kite boarding, known as the ‘capital of kite-surfing in the Caribbean’.

For evening entertainment, there are many reasonable and varied restaurants between the cities and towns. For the more adventurous there are more than enough ‘tourist attractions’ even for the most hardened of residents to find enjoyable.

Finally to keep you up to date on what is happening, there is an English-speaking radio station and at least four good websites devoted to the Dominican Republic.

Many expatriates find that they enjoy getting involved in the local culture and make friends with local Dominicans and their families, thus finding a whole new community to learn about and enjoy.
