Playa Cosón
A pristine golden beach about 6 km long, with stretches of palm groves and few people; one of the longest and most beautiful beaches on the Samaná Peninsula.
Playa Cosón lies about 6 km west of Las Terrenas and stretches roughly 6 km, backed by a continuous grove of coconut palms. Development is minimal, with just a few scattered resorts and beach restaurants. The sand is broad and soft, ideal for long walks, horseback riding and photography, and there is a river mouth at the western end. Waves can be large at times, so swim where other people are. It is about 15 minutes by taxi or motorbike from town, and many visitors spend the whole day here, having lunch at a beach restaurant.
