Best Beaches in Samana
Your complete guide to Samana's 3 most beautiful beaches — from resort sands to wild Atlantic shores.
Exploring Samana's Coastline
The Samana peninsula is the Dominican Republic's most spectacularly wild coastal region — a forested finger of land jutting into the Atlantic that combines some of the Caribbean's most beautiful and remote beaches with extraordinary natural experiences. The region's beaches — Rincon, Fronton, and Madama — are accessible only by boat or challenging hike, which preserves their pristine character and keeps visitor numbers low. The peninsula is also world-famous as a humpback whale breeding ground from January to March.
