This is my favorite beach in Puerto Plata, secluded, barely anybody, more foreigners than locasl, that helps it keep it clean. Sometimes it gets very windy, otherwise great for family with kids and non swimmers. Shallow spots all throughout the stretch.

Beautiful beach. Clean . Therr aren't vendors that bother you, good...
