Sosua Dominican Republic

Sosua Dominican Republic, Los Charamicos It is essentially a peaceful fishing town which has developed into a beach resort for both tourists and locals. In reality Sosua is divided into two separate villages divided by a bay at whose base is a sandy white beach [cont right below]

The beach is more than half mile long and behind it are located a continuous row of small bars, restaurants and souvenir shops.

The two halves of Sosua are Los Charamicos (western side) and El Batey (eastern side).

Los Charamicos is predominantly occupied by Dominicans who make their living through fishing, tourism jobs or small businesses.

At night time the Barrio of Los Charamicos is known for its nightlife, dancing, and bar scene.

El Batey is more of the tourist area with hotels, restaurants, shops, and a variety of tourist services such as banks, Internet cafes, clinics, a pharmacy
