Silver Port (Puerto Plata), named after Columbus saw the reflection of sunlight from the sea at the port, presents a scene similar to silver coins. It is currently the largest commercial port in the north of many countries. Silver Harbor was a major seaside five-star resort in many countries in the 1990s.

San Pedro de Marcoris, known as the village of American professional baseball players, has players from here to play professional baseball every year. St. Peter is located 65 kilometers east of the capital. Due to its geographical proximity to the capital, St. Peter was once a prosperous city for the production and export of cane sugar.
