Sosua beach is a little piece of paradise set in a beautiful cove with turquoise blue waters so clear that fish can actually be seen from the surface. Bordered by a green zone in the center and two hotels on the right side, Sosua beach has a long stretch of small casitas hosting stores, local and Haitian art studios, bars, restaurants and gift shops specializing in local handcrafts.
Many bars offer a selection of seafood, local dishes and North American food, as well as German and Austrian food and drinks. Local art is painted on the spot, and some tourists enjoy hair braiding services by local people, plus fresh catches of seafood treats like oysters and shellfish.
The beach is also home to several diving and snorkeling tour operators that can be seen each morning loading their gear and people in order to take them to the best spots. Reaching the beach is easy — just take Pedro Clisante Street where it begins next to La Roca restaurant, or go through the Beach Way plaza next to the Checkpoint Bar.
We went here last winter and it was exactly like you describe. The water really is that clear!
Great little guide, thanks for putting this together.
Does anyone know if the casitas are open year round? Planning a trip in October.
The hair braiding ladies are lovely, just agree the price first like you said.
Loved the seafood at the beach bars. Bookmarking this site!
Took the kids snorkeling here, perfect for beginners.
Beautiful spot. Wish we'd stayed longer in Sosua.
