Powered By Subgurim(http://googlemaps.subgurim.net).Google Maps ASP.NET

The coastline itself is blessed with beautiful stretches of pristine beach, lush green valleys and backed by the majestic Mount Isabel de Torres. Columbus described the spot as 'the fairest land under heaven' when he arrived there in 1492, and the thousands of visitors that arrive every day today tend to agree with him. The city sports a romantic air of days gone by, enhanced by its Victorian architecture with its filigree lace wood and ironwork and 'gingerbread' motifs that characterise most of the historic homesteads and public buildings. The surrounding Atlantic coastal area with its assortment of seaside towns and resorts is known as the Amber coast because of the rich deposits of lustrous semi-precious amber found in the region. On the outskirts of Puerto Plata is the major Playa Dorada complex of low-rise hotels in a country club setting of gardens and beautiful beaches.
