Creator's Key Takeaways

There was a visible police presence throughout the area which helped us feel comfortable and safe as we made our way to the spots on our itinerary.

It's one of the most Instagrammable spots in Porta Plata and offers food, a coffee bar, shops, and many great photo opportunities.

You are going to get hassled a lot. So, you just need to say no thank you and just keep on going.

I'd recommend heading out on your own and see what you can find. Do some good exploring. People inside very nice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Say 'no thank you' to locals offering tours to avoid being hassled.

✓Walk to the downtown area; it is only about a 5-10 minute walk from the port.

✓Use taxis if you are heading to a beach rather than staying downtown.

✓Be careful of heavy traffic when walking near the streets.
