8 Beaches To Visit In Las Galeras, Dominican Republic

January 24, 2022

During our visit to The Dominican Republic we visited different villages in the north and one of favorite locations is Las Galeras, North East. As it has access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

You can either rent a car, but some of them are very difficult to find and don´t even appear on Google Maps, so we recommend that you join a day trip to the 7 hidden beaches from Las Galeras like we did.

Playa Las Coloradas

We visited this beach twice, and we were glad we did as it’s probably the most beautiful one.

First time we came was with our friends Jenny & Rick, we rented a car together and came here to explore these two beaches. It turned out to be rainy and the weather wasn’t ideal but managed to get amazing photos.

Our second time here was during our tour as Las Coloradas 1 and 2 are part of it, there’s a secret path where your local guide will take you.

Playa Rincón & Caño Frío

We also visited this beach with our friends. It was a very big beach with a beautiful river at the end where you can go swimming. You can also rent kayaks or a little boat to go around the river. They were asking for too much money so we decided to find a path and jumped into the water!

The water was so clear and also cold! Glad we jumped in and had an amazing time. If you bring a floaty the current will take you to the end of the river where it starts.

La Playita

La playita is the main beach in Las Galeras, although is the main square it wasn’t busy at all every time we went there. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail or watch a pink sunset while you swim.

It’s probably one of the few beaches you can go walking as the others you need to find a secret path or rent a car.

You can also reach this beach walking, as it’s on the other side of the village.

We stayed at Chalet Tropical, an eco hotel in Las Galeras, where it’s only 6 minutes walking from this beach. We really enjoyed this beach, it’s smaller but the water was so blue and clear.

We rented two sun beds and 4 fresh coconuts for less than 6 euros. This is the perfect beach for couples and families that want to relax and have a great time.Dscf8001.JpgBeach Couple PhotosDscf8100.Jpg

Playa Breman

Breman beach was our last stop in the tour we joined on our last day. Waves were big and didn’t have enough time as we spent too much time taking photos that we had to come back sooner than we thought. Breman is popular among locals as it’s really big and surrounded by beautiful trees.Playa Breman

Remember to bring your snorkel gear!

Playa Amor

Love beach is a very hidden beach in the middle of the jungle that doesn’t even appear on Google Maps.

Probably the only way to get here is on a tour or with a local that can guide you so you won’t get lost.

It’s a small round beach, if there’s nice weather you can swim in it, if not waves may be too big as when we visited.

We had a few minutes of clear sky so we decided to fly the drone and take these impressive photos.Playa Amor Las Galeras

Playa Frontón

We missed this beach during our visit as when we were going to join the tour it rained so much.

They say its the most beautiful beach in Samana and the only way to get here is by boat or walking but it will take almost 10h so I guess not!

It also one of the best beaches to go snorkeling as it has a small reef where you can even see turtles or sharks.

Playa Ermitaño

Another lovely beach you can’t miss during your visit here. You will find many palms near the water like this one.

You will also need a car to get here as it’s a bit far from the village, but totally worth it.

You can also rent a local boat for 20$ to take you here.Playa Ermitaño Couple Photo Climbing A Palm Tree In The Beach

Where To Stay

We stayed in different areas in Samana and today we are sharing our favourite locations.

El Limón, Saman Eco Lodge

Samana Eco Lodge was our first hotel in Samana region and it was by far our favorite. It was our first time watching sunrise in a tree house and we couldnt recommend it enough.

There are different huts in the hotel, a natural pool, a swing and a restaurant where they will serve you breakfast and complimentary dinner. Vegan and gluten free on request.

Its the perfect location if you want to visit El Limón Waterfall early in the morning to beat crowds.

Tip: You can get a guagua straight to the waterfall but you may need a car to explore the surroundings.

Room price: 100-250$ depending on room and seasonSamana Eco Lodge Hotel

El Valle

El Valle is probably the wildest and purest area in Samana. We dont think there is public transportation here as its very remote. Luckily for us , El Valle Lodge organised transportation for us.

This hotel is literally less than 5 minutes walking through the jungle to the beach. Each hut is unique and as the previous hotel it is also sustainable and ecological.

They offer complimentary breakfast in the main restaurant where they also serve dinner for around 25$ per person, also vegan options (and delicious).

Room price: Between 90-300$ depending on room and high season.El Valle Lodge Hotel El Valle Lodge Hotel Dji_0129.JpgPrivate Hut At El Valle Eco HotelInside Bedroom El Valle HotelEntrance To Our Bedroom El Valle LodgeVegan Breakfast At El Valle Eco LodgeVegan Friendly Breakfast Dominican Republic In El Valle Lodge

Chalet Tropical In Las Galeras

One of our last hotels was Chalet Tropical in the center of Las Galeras, which is the main village in Samana.

Easily to reach from the main street and floating breakfast is served in your own pool every morning. You can choose from different options the day before

They have two different villas, a small one where a little pool and then the main ones perfect for families or group of friends with the main pool, where you can enjoy breakfast.
