Amber Coast (Costa de Ambar)
The northern coast of the Dominican Republic got its name, because some of the world's richest amber deposits are located in the hills there. There are a number of small shaft mines, where the so-called Dominican Amber is excavated. The Amber Coast, or Costa de Ambar, includes a 120 km (75 miles) long string of good beaches, stretching east from Puerto Plata.
The Amber Coast receives large amounts of European package tourists every year and it is the most developed region in the country. There are many resorts filled with huge hotels and fast-food restaurants, but some small towns have retained their laid-back atmosphere and offer local guesthouses, as well as small restaurants, where authentic local foods are served.
