The fishing towns of Samana Bay offer great appeal to sun seekers, nature lovers and romantics, due to its islets or keys and immense beaches. Green mountains, long beaches, lively little towns and turquoise waters make up the beautiful sceneries to see. A main attraction here is whale-watching between November and March. Also the Los Haitises National Park, with its exotic vegetation, fauna and calm waters, make for an ideal daytrip.

Accommodations can be found for any budget, and a slue of little restaurants offer delicious Dominican meals, some say the best of the island. At dusk, a stroll along its malecon is a must, where the breakwaters suddenly become alive with stalls, deckchairs, merengue music and plentiful rum.
