Sosúa, Seaside municipality in Puerto Plata Province, Dominican Republic
Sosúa extends across three distinct sectors: El Batey for tourism, Los Charamicos for nightlife, and Sosúa Abajo near the airport.
In 1940, Rafael Trujillo granted visas to 800 Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria, establishing a new community in Sosúa during World War II.
The Jewish Museum and synagogue in El Batey preserve the heritage of European settlers who created the successful Productos Sosúa food enterprise.
The northern coastal location provides access to multiple beaches including Playa Sosúa, Playa Alicia, and Paradise Beach, with clear waters for swimming.
Sosúa Bay features underwater reef structures where visitors observe tropical fish species and migrating whales during winter months.
