Península de Samaná
Landscapes
Rolling mountains with hard-to-get-to waterfalls, a sea of hillocks pushing their way to a
long coastline of protected beaches and picturesque coves, plus cliffs and hidden lagoons
once refuges for pirates.
Water Sports
Be it surfing, kitesurfing, snorkeling or scuba diving, active travelers will find it all here, as
well as a community of experienced pros to show beginners how it's done.
Social Scene
A motley crew of mainly European and North Americans have brought a cosmopolitan fla-
vor to the peninsula: Las Terrenas is the center of cafe culture and nightlife, while Las
Galeras' sophistication flies under the radar.
