Dominican Republic More Slide Shows
Jurassic jewelry
Beads from amber necklace.
  Layne Kennedy/Corbis
Feel the weight of history with amber beads around your neck. Rare, translucent, and evocative of the days of dinosaurs, amber is mined near the Dominican Republic's aptly named Amber Coast. In fact, pieces from the Amber Museum in Puerto Plata were shown in the film Jurassic Park. Equally rare is the Amber Coast itself—its "necklace" of unspoiled beaches will make your holiday here priceless.
