Amber Cove Market Place<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Amber Cove<\/strong><\/span><\/a> market place (El Mercado) is the closest you get to local handcrafts if you stay in the port instead of taking the Puerto Plata<\/strong><\/a><\/span> city tour.

The port’s gift shop market is a delightful trove where everything is priced at $30 or less, offering a wide array of items from local art and handcrafts to beachwear essentials.<\/span><\/p>\n
