Santa bàrbara de Samanà, the "Provincia de Samanà" main town and "provincial Capital" is a quiet small town, built under the coconut trees, on the north coast of the Samana Bay, looking south.

Around Samanà are many nice, white, sandy beaches as "LAS GALERAS BEACH, FRONTON, MADAM, so and so...and the largest and nicest beach of RINCON BEACH known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The waters are turquoise, lot of coconut trees, rustling on the trade winds, give shadow as far as the sand.

January to end of april, thousands of HUMPBACK WHALES come, every year, to procreate.

From your own apartment, sit on your  easy-chair, drinking your favorite cocktail, you'll admire the male jumping out the water to seduce her partner, the females rolling in the waves, frequently new whale-calfs playing all around.

45 minutes driving is "LAS TERRENAS", small  village with a lot of "all inclusive hotels" and restaurants.
