Hi! I am Big Lee
We are located in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Amber Cove, the Carnival Cruise Lines Port is also very near Puerto Plata.
And Taino Bay is in-town Puerto Plata, only about 2 miles from Big Lee's Beach Bar.
I retired from Chicago, United States to live here in Puerto Plata over 15 years ago. After two years of being bored with “just being retired” I opened Big Lee’s Beach Bar in September, 2011.
We have a great location on the ocean complete with beach, islands, fantastic food, great atmosphere and a very friendly staff
Open Every Day,
10:00 a.m. - 9.00 p.m.

How to find
Big Lee’s Beach Bar?
We are on the Malecon.
Malecon translated is boardwalk,
or road along the ocean
On maps, the Malecon is called
Ave. General G. Luperon - but everyone
here calls it the Malecon.
Every taxi driver knows
where the Malecon is, too.
Google Map to Big Lee's
There are 10 identical buildings, “casettas” on the BEACH SIDE
of the Malecon.
We are the business on the beach side and between the two islands... one island has a statue of Neptune
I own the LEFT-HAND SIDE
of the building.
Be sure to sit at my Bar & Grill,
not my neighbors, lol, lol…
And, our photos are not nearly as beautiful as it truly is… a true paradise. Come to Big Lee’s Beach Bar, relax, enjoy the spectacular views, have an ice cold beer and enjoy our fantastic food at affordable prices.
Sit on our deck here at
Big Lee's Beach Bar
under the almond trees just steps away from the ocean and our beach. Enjoy the islands and Neptune, too. Watch the waves on the ocean, some days with wind surfers

BIG LEE: PUERTO PLATA’S
MOST LOVED EXPAT
AND RESTAURATEUR
Meet Puerto Plata’s lovable and local celebrity Big Lee Peak. Bored with his life in the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, Big Lee was within 3 years of retiring when he decided to start taking vacations to help him decide where to spend his retirement. “I saw a ’60 Minutes’ segment on retiring outside the US where your money can go further. I went to Cancun where I joined a timeshare and then to Puerto Plata and Punta Cana. I’m so glad that I chose Puerto Plata; it is a real town with real people with real culture
and history.”
