Playa Rincon

Tourist attraction

👍 Off the beaten path beach. Limited amenities. Nice to have a river to wash off the sea water. Beautiful beaches. Snorkelling is ok along the cliff edge. Restaurant was unique with them cooking over a wood flame. Bathrooms are terrible.

Playa Rincón

Public beach

👍👍 One of the most spectacular beaches I have ever seen, beautiful blue water, soft perfect foot forming sand, quite, virtually empty, clean with no seaweed or jellyfish. Not the easiest to get to, we rented a car and had no issues well worth the extra drive.

Samaná Bridge

Bridge

😐 It was a great experience, walking on the bridge and visit the keys, but if you are going to do it alone is very dangerous, because there didn’t see any security personal in the keys. Do this trip from 8 AM to 6 PM, never do it in the evening or alone. The keys look like abandoned and vandalized.
