The city
Sosúa is a beach town on the Amber Coast, with a bay of calm, clear water between cliffs, good for swimming and snorkeling. It has its own history: it was founded in the late 1930s as an agricultural colony for Jewish refugees from Europe, and the Museo Judío tells that story in the El Batey neighborhood.
