Best restaurant at Cabarete beach is La Casita (Papi), it is a local institution, been there forever, very unpretentious place right on the beach, with a simple menu, the signature dish Camarones a la Papi, many other restaurants were trying to copy this dish unsuccessfully. Not cheap. Booking is essential

This one is the closest to Sea Horse Ranch, it is convenient if you rent from Avis and need to change your car, or if you arrived initially by taxi and need to rent a car locally. You will save on airport taxes, but will be charged "return to a different location" fee if you drop it off at the airport . This makes financial sence for a long term rentals.

"One of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world" according to Conde Nast travel magazine.
Beware of a strong current!
Spend a day, have a light lunch of freshly caught and cooked local fish accompanied by non alcoholic cocktails of Coca Loca and Pina Colada in a fresh fruit shell.
Buy shells, bargain is a must!
Could be combined with visit to Laguna Gri-Gri and Lake el Dudu in a nice one day exploration trip of the North coast of the island. About an hour drive from Sea Horse Ranch.

If you like nature and adventure El Dudu is a magnificent natural crater of spring water known as a “cenote or sinkhole” where swimming and jumping off its high walls is truly an unforgettable experience!
For the more adventurous, scuba diving through El Dudu’s four extensive underwater caves is a lifetime memory!

Arts & Culture
Sosua`s history began with the influx of Jewish settlers back in 1940, after the Evian conference and the agreement between Trujillo and then U.S. president Roosevelt. The Sosua Jewish museum was established in honor of the ones who had to escape from the horrors of the war in Europe because of the German Nazis. About 600-800 Jews arrived at the island between 1940 and 1945, mostly well educated citizens that had to radically alter their lives, with the task of resettling abandoned banana plantations despite their total lack of farming skills. The Jewish Museum ( Museo Judio ) located next to the Casa Marina Hotel was inaugurated Feb. 3, 2003, in the presence of many dignitaries.
