Santa Barbara de Samaná
Santa Bárbara de Samaná, commonly known as Samaná, is the capital of the Samaná Peninsula, located on the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. This picturesque and vibrant coastal town is known for its beautiful boardwalk, stunning bay, and rich history.
Among the activities to enjoy in Samaná, boat trips to explore the surroundings stand out, such as visiting Cayo Levantado, a small paradise island famous for its white sandy beaches. Between January and March, Samaná becomes one of the best places in the world for humpback whale watching, as they migrate to these waters to breed.
One interesting fact about Santa Bárbara de Samaná is its Afro-American heritage. In the 19th century, a group of free African Americans emigrated from the United States and settled in Samaná, leaving a cultural imprint that is still evident in the local music, cuisine, and traditions. This fascinating blend of cultures, combined with the natural beauty of the area, makes Samaná a unique and charming destination.
