Coconut Cove

Chukka Ocean Outpost at Coconut Cove is a premier seaside nature-adventure park located on the scenic northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Nestled along the rugged cliffs of Puerto Plata, this destination serves as a private oasis where guests can balance high-energy thrills with serene coastal relaxation. Visitors can explore the landscape through activities like ATV safari tours, dune buggy trails, and a unique 1,200-foot over-the-ocean zipline that offers panoramic views of the Atlantic. For those interested in cultural immersion, the outpost also offers experiences such as authentic coffee tastings and local cooking demonstrations.

Beyond the adrenaline-filled tours, the outpost features a private beach at Coconut Cove, where guests can enjoy calm turquoise waters and a variety of non-motorized watersports, including kayaking, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. The facilities are designed for comfort, providing shaded lounge areas with umbrellas, themed bars, and an ocean-air restaurant like Tambora Grill that serves island-style buffet lunches. Visitors can also wander through a bird aviary or browse the local gift shop for souvenirs. With convenient roundtrip transfers from most major Puerto Plata hotels, it is a popular all-inclusive choice for cruise passengers and vacationers alike. On this hike, I explored the cliffs and beach of Coconut Cove on a hike along the northern shore of the island. Don’t be surprised to see a person rip across the beach during your hike here. There is a zip line that runs directly overhead on the main part of the beach.
