About Samaná
Samaná is a peninsula and bay on the Dominican Republic's north-east coast, with palm-lined beaches, rainforest waterfalls and humpback whales each winter.
The Samaná peninsula forms the north-eastern arm of the Dominican Republic, a long tongue of green hills and coconut palms between the Atlantic and Samaná Bay. The town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná, founded in 1756 by settlers from the Canary Islands, is the main port. From about mid-January to March, humpback whales come into the bay to breed, and boats go out to watch them.
