Peninsula de Samaná & Samana Bay

(Local Name: Samaná Peninsula & Bahía Samaná) The waters of the humid Samaná Bay area are studded with islets and fringed by large coconut-treed beaches.

The area is valued for its fauna including humpback whales, seen between November and March, seals, turtles and a variety of birds.

A landscape of lush green hills and fields runs along the peninsula.

The Bamboulá, a native rhythm blended from the songs of African, English, French and Spanish settlers can be heard in the area.
