Samaná Peninsula is blessed with wonderful beaches. The best ones are near the towns of Las Terrenas and El Limón in the north. There is another cluster of playas at Las Galeras at the northeast corner. If time is limited during a day trip in Samaná, start your quest east of town where Avenida La Marina ends and turns into Highway 5 headed east. At that juncture, you get this lovely view of Cayo Vigia.
