Playa Rincón 

 

is rated by many as one of the three most beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean; it consists of three miles of white sand beaches with tall coconut plantations, where still no hotel infrastructures has been developed

 

Along the main beach there are small coves, surrounded by abundant, tropical vegetation, where you can swim undisturbed. 

 

You can only get there by jeep or even better by boat. Enjoy this beautiful, lonely and still unspoiled  piece of paradise. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Most is this beach reached by boat:

 

30 minutes (RD $ 800 per person, RD $ 2.400 for the boat) from Playa Grande to
Las Galeras or on the road about 7 km, 20 minutes from Las Galeras. 

 

The taxi boats will take you to the western part of the beach, with its gentle waters near Caño Frio, the freshwater source. 

 

There you can also make excursions with horses along the beach and enjoy the breathtaking views. 

 

TIPS: If you are looking for peace and relaxation you should visit. Everywhere there is   fresh tasty fish, with a refreshing coconut water to eat. 

  

 If you come by car, you should buy gas with Bezin in Las Terrenas or in Samana, since in Las Galeras there aren’t any gas stations.

 

The name of Las Galeras comes from the second half of the sixteenth century, when two galleys were sent by the King of Spain to reduce smuggling and to fight against the French privateers. 

 

Most small hotels are managed by Europeans, mainly Swiss, German and French. They came to the island and stayed. 

 

TIP: A German family built the inn "El Cabito" with a restaurant in Cabo Cabron. It is a popular vantage point for whale watching and sunsets.
A romantic place, a dinner at starry night.
