Many of the beaches on this area of the island have not seen any developments so many of these virgin beaches are still among some of the best preserved ones in the country.

There are many other attractions in this city apart from some that have already been mentioned. There are beaches on both the north side and the south side of the city. The beach on the north is known for its fun waves which can be quite rough sometimes. To access it one has to use the road or alternatively use a boat. The beach on the south on the other hand is comprised of a protruding coral reef which is known to shield the Samana bay from the Atlantic waves. It has got very beautiful sand beaches which are surrounded by beautiful coconut trees.

More attractions include exploring caves. These caves played a major role during the battle between the Indian settlers and the European conquerors. Los Haitises National Park is also an attraction site worth checking out. It is popular for having one of the most vital rainforests and mangrove reserves in the entire region of the Caribbean, which encompasses keys and caves.
