A cosmopolitan beach town on the Samaná Peninsula where French and Italian expats have shaped a café-and-bakery scene unusual for the Dominican coast. Palm-backed beaches like Playa Bonita and Playa Cosón stretch for kilometers with barely a high-rise in sight. It works as a base for El Limón waterfall, whale watching in season, and quad-bike exploration of the peninsula.
