Playa Luperon Beach

Playa Luperon Beach in Puerto Plata is a 1km stretch of golden sand beach, located at the entrance of Luperon Bay – the most important natural harbor in the island, and perhaps the Caribbean.

This beach now feels secluded, with very few visitors; it used to be very active in the years when the Luperon Beach Resort was operating. The resort now sits as a timeless sentinel guarding the beautiful landscape.

The beach is a light golden sand, creating a perfect contrast with the lush green tropical palms and the turquoise blue waters teeming with coral and marine life.

La Isabela and Luperon

La Isabela has historical value as being the first Spanish settlement in the Americas when Spaniards invaded the island, in what is known as the discovery of America. The first indigenous uprising also happened here, by the local Taino.
