Playa El Valle
A wild beach at the end of a valley about 12 km north of Samaná town, flanked by green mountains, rarely visited, with local stalls selling fried fish.
Playa El Valle lies about 12 km north of Samaná town, reached along a country road that crosses a valley. The bay is flanked by steep hillsides covered in rainforest, and the dark sand beach is broad and almost undeveloped, with only a few local shacks selling fried fish and coconuts. Atlantic waves can be large, so watch for rip currents when swimming. It suits visitors who want to avoid crowds and photograph untouched seascapes, and it is about 25 minutes' drive from Samaná.
