Set
midway along the peninsula's remote northern coast, the former
fishing village
of Las Terrenas has grown over the past
twenty years from backwater to an expat-dominated resort town
renowned for its buoyant nightlife. Though development has
led to a new paved road from Sánchez and a town centre
which, along with the beach, is lined with restaurants, bars
and shops,
the inland Dominican barrio remains much the same as it was.
Las Terrenas makes for a pleasant base camp from which to
explore the northern part of the Samaná Peninsula; on
either side are less developed beaches such as Playa Bonita
; a day trip to the El Limón waterfall is also highly
recommended. Hostels in Las Terrenas |
