Still a favorite of mine here is the view across Sosua Bay toward Isabel de Torres and Puerto Plata at sunset. Gorgeous. An excellent location to take in the scene is on the little point of land (there's a sidewalk) behind Sosua-by-the-Sea just east and above the beach at Casa Marina. The point sticks a little further out into the ocean so the view is different than you can get actually on Sosua Beach or somewhere in between, but a SB sunset looking over IDT is beautiful as well.

On the patio of the restaurant at Hotel Waterfront in Sosua with a bottle of good wine, a seafood platter and a hot woman. That's where I asked Isabel to marry me.

Its a little different perspective, but the sun setting over the city of Santiago and the Cibao valley from the veranda outside the restaurant at Camp David can also be beautiful.
