Accessible Beach Seekers

OVERVIEW

This excursion is for guests that use a cane/walker, have limited mobility issues or for companions of those guest that have booked mobility equipment tour. Those guests that are fully dependent on their mobility device please book: POP_A2 ACCESSIBLE MOBILITY EQUIPMENT: BEACH SEEKERS.

Tour includes step-free routes, shorter distances and no stairs. Accessible restrooms with wide doors for wheelchairs are present along the tour route. Vehicles are adapted with an access ramp (or lift where available) to accommodate a limited number of wheelchairs and/or mobility scooters. Guides are not allowed to push wheelchairs; therefore, guests needing special assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied. Follow an immensely scenic coastal route with leisurely stops at three beaches, each one presenting a different experience. You will begin a bit north of Puerto Plata at Costambar Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand with the towering slopes of Mount Isabel de Torres as a backdrop. While you may spend the entire time on the beach, as an alternative, you might drop by El Carey, a waterfront restaurant with an outdoor terrace that overlooks the sea. Farther south, you will stop at Cosita Rica Beach. Because of its central location and easy accessibility, it will likely be the most crowded of all the coastal settings. The advantage to that is a plethora of nearby shops and restaurants. Even farther south, you will find Playa Dorada, a beach with a coveted Blue Flag designation for being clean and eco-friendly. One of its big draws is Jack Tar restaurant, where you might dine on your own.
