The most beautiful natural sites to discover Santa Barbara De Samaná - Samaná

This islet closes the bay of Samaná, opposite the city. The cayo has no other interest than to offer the sea a vast panorama over the city. At dusk, couples will taste the embrasement of the… sun. Many sailboats at mooring take advantage of this natural shelter.

Located 4 km from Samana in the direction of Las Galeras, this beach was the scene of the first battle in history between Europeans and Aborigines. The Spaniards confronted the Ciguayo Indians on January 13, 1493. The skirmish was so intense that Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary: "I had never seen so many arrows flying"! If you were thinking of stopping there to take a dip, you should know that the site was covered in all kinds of rubbish during our last visit, so it's better to go swimming at the next beach.
