Samaná, Coastal municipality of Samaná Province, Dominican Republic
The municipality extends across 412 square kilometers of land, featuring a small coastal plain surrounded by the Sierra de Samaná mountain range.
In 1756, families from the Canary Islands established Santa Bárbara de Samaná under the governance of Francisco Rubio y Peñaranda.
The arrival of African American immigrants in 1824 created a distinct community known as Samaná Americans, who maintain their cultural heritage.
The municipality contains two airports: Samaná El Catey International Airport and Arroyo Barril Airport, facilitating access for domestic and international travelers.
From January to March, Samaná Bay becomes a nursery for humpback whales, making the municipality a primary whale-watching destination in the Caribbean.
