Las Galeras

 

 

Region Map: Samana Peninsula
 

In tranquil Las
Galeras, a sweeping curve of beach bends around gentle blue waters.

This is a quiet and serene fisherman’s village with beautiful
reefs for snorkelling .

Las Galeras is also a good launching
point for visiting the area’s other gorgeous but remote beaches.  Small
fishing boats ferry passengers to nearby but otherwise unreachable
Playa Madama, bordered by extraordinary rock formations and caves
housing Taino art; reef-protected Playa Frontón on the northeast tip of the peninsula; green and shady Playa Colorado; and the prize of the peninsula, nearly deserted Playa Rincón, recognized by Conde Nast Traveler as the best beach on the peninsula.<

Is a little more difficult to get to than many other
tourism destinations.

 

Things to do:

Horseback riding.
Snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing.
