New York (JFK): 3¾ hours A seaside malécon with restaurants, bars, shops and a marina are draws for two-legged visitors to the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, but every winter the peninsula and majestic bay of Samana also become the destination of choice for the thousands of humpback whales who find leisure in its warm waters. It's only fitting then, that this scenic and peaceful port town is also an ecotourism destination, full of lush tropical mountain hills; virgin forests like El Valle; beautiful waterfalls; caves with petroglyphs and pictograms; and countless secluded beaches, including famous Playa Rincon Beach and those of the paradisiacal island Cayo Levantado, just a few minutes away. Samana is not only the name of the peninsula and bay, but also the scenic port town graced with a seaside malécon, restaurants, bars, shopping and marina. WILD. VERDANT. NATURAL.
