Rincón beach
This beautiful place is one of the most visited in all of Samana: the beach stretches for 3 kilometers with turquoise waters and fine white sand.
As it is a well-known beach in the area of Las Galeras, it is always visited by visitors, so there are bars and restaurants to enjoy. However, you can rest assured that the beach is kept clean and well maintained.
Additionally, you can get away from the crowded area. On your way you will find a beautiful landscape of mountains and many coconut trees; also, if you go to the far left you will find the mouth of river Caño Frío. That way, after the salty water of the beach, you can jump into a natural pool of fresh water.
Cayo Levantado Beach
In front of Samana Bay is Cayo Levantado Island, also known as Bacardi Island by some, due to an advertisement of the famous rum that was filmed there.
This place can only be accessed by boat, so you may need a tour. However, you also have the option of staying at Bahia Principe Luxury Cayo Levantado, as this beautiful resort is located right on the island and has access to an exclusive area of the place for you to enjoy a private beach that can be seen from the hotel room.
In the same way, if you wish, you can go to the other part of the island to buy souvenirs in the small stalls and share with other people. It all depends on your taste, but no matter what you choose, you will still enjoy the extraordinary scenery.
Fronton Beach
Fronton beach is the ideal place for those who want to enjoy nature at its best.
Upon arrival you will notice that this is not like other beaches, because the place is guarded by a large dark rock cliff that reaches 90 meters high. Here you can climb and see the sea from a great height, and you will be able to take incredible pictures.
As well as the cliff, the beach is surrounded by several trees and in the water there are many corals with fish and sea urchins. Therefore, it will also be possible to snorkel and enjoy the fauna of Fronton beach.
If you prefer something quiet, then you might just wish to relax in the water, as the shore is shallow and you won't have to worry about the waves. Being in the area of Las Galeras, it is possible to reach other beaches easily from Fronton, so you can include whale watching or diving in your plans for the day.
Punta Bonita Beach
If you are a sociable person looking for lively beaches with lots of services, then be sure to visit Punta Bonita. Here, in addition to crystal clear waters, you will find many clubs, restaurants, bars and even surf lessons.
You can find everything you need in Punta
Bonita and it is so famous for being considered a mini village. You can start
your day with a gorgeous swim in the sea, continue with a delicious lunch,
relax in the lounge area of the clubs to get ready for a great party before returning to your accommodation.
Excellent for a full day.
Cosón Beach
Finally, if you are into water sports and want to try them in the Caribbean, Cosón beach may be your destination. It is a 5 kilometers long beach, right next to Punta Bonita. There is plenty of surf here, so you can surf, windsurf, kitesurf and more.
