If you’re looking for a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 20 miles away, Samana is worth hopping in the car for. Among your first few stops here should be Cayo Levantado, Cayo Levantado Beach and Playa el Valle. Locals will also likely point you toward Las Galeras, 30 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Rincon Beach. (But we’re also huge fans of La Playita Beach and Colorado Beach.)
