Playa Los Patos
The beautiful white sand beach and the famous Balneario, the “hole for swimmers”, are an idyll for tourists. Here, clear, cold water flows from the mountain and forms a lagoon that leads to the sea. The attraction is also a newly opened cave formation with taine petroglyphs.

Caya Levantado
A beautiful public beach is located in the west of the island, 7 kilometers from the province of Samaná. It is the only part that is open to the public on this page. The rest is a 5 star hotel.
