Los residentes de Puerto Plata declaran con orgullo que el suyo es el bulevar frente al mar más hermoso de República Dominicana. Y lo entenderás cuando veas las múltiples playas de arena blanca que bordean la avenida principal de la ciudad, cada una con su nombre. Aparte de los días de playa en el centro de la ciudad, la larga y sombreada acera del bulevar es ideal para los paseos matutinos o nocturnos, los amaneceres aquí son espectaculares. También podrás hacer una parada en uno de los distintos bares y restaurantes que bordean el Malecón, o dar un paseo en bicicleta por el carril bici. Disfruta de la brisa, toma una copa al atardecer o ejercítate caminando a lo largo del Malecón hasta Long Beach. Todo el año se llevan a cabo numerosos eventos a lo largo del bulevar, incluyendo el Carnaval de Puerto Plata.
