# Puerto Botado

**Country:** Dominican Republic  
**Water Body:** North Atlantic Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** 19.2000, -69.4500

Puerto Botado carries no UN/LOCODE, which already signals the limited commercial freight role of this small natural harbour on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. With shallow water – an approach of about 4.9 metres – it suits only local, small-craft traffic rather than international liner or container shipping. For regular imports and exports in the north, Puerto Plata is the nearest commercial port, while containerised cargo moves through Caucedo or Río Haina near Santo Domingo.
