How do I meet people in Dominican Rep?

When we asked people living in Dominican Rep about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...

"Expats in the Dominican Republic often join clubs and activities such as golf, tennis, sailing, and scuba diving. Expats can also join local language classes, book clubs, and cooking classes. Additionally, many expats join expat-specific groups and organizations, such as the American Chamber of Commerce, the British-Dominican Society, and the Canadian-Dominican Association. Other ways that expats meet people in the Dominican Republic include attending local festivals and events, joining local sports teams, and volunteering with local charities. Additionally, many expats find it helpful to join online forums and social media groups to connect with other expats in the area," remarked another expat who made the move to Dominican Rep.

"I'm a retired Brit who enjoys meeting people at coffee restaurants in the morning in Sosua and Cabarete. I recall many New Yorkers used to come to the town for long weekends to meet the attractive Dominican women. But a couple told me that they now return for longer periods because they were surprised how they met so many guys of different nationalities who enjoyed talking to them. They also gave them advice on any issue they wanted to know about. Hope you visit and have many friends as I have," explained one expat living in Dominican Rep.
