Playa Rincon as one of the 10 best beaches in the Caribbean

Offering three miles of pure white sand and exuberant vegetation, Playa Rincon, in the northeast province of Samaná is the ideal place to enjoy nature in a quiet and very relaxing setting.

In the past few years “Las Galeras” has developed into an attractive tourism destination dominated by smaller hotels such as the “Aparta-Hotel Las Galeras” and “Villa Serena.” It also features the 400-room Amhsa Marina Hotels & Resorts facility.

Visitors can travel to “Playa Rincon” from “Las Galeras” either by road (35 minutes) or by small boats (20 minutes).

In spite of the restaurant’s plain ambience they offer some of the finest – and certainly the freshest – seafood in the region. Fresh fish, shrimp and lobster, as well as other seafood dishes, are served with local side dishes.

Coconut-based seafood is the region’s specialty, accompanied by rice and beans Dominican style.
