Las Galeras
A small fishing village at the eastern tip of the Samaná Peninsula, the departure point for secluded beaches such as Rincón, Frontón and Madama; the village beach has shallow water and small restaurants.
Las Galeras is a quiet fishing village at the far eastern end of the peninsula, with a slower pace than Las Terrenas. The village beach in front has shallow water and gentle waves, with seafood restaurants and small guesthouses along the shore. Boats from the pier go to Playa Frontón, Playa Madama and Playa Rincón, and nearby dive centers can take you to reefs and caves. It is about a 40-minute drive from Samaná town, and staying overnight lets you avoid the day-trip crowds.
