Playa Rincón, Atlantic beach on Samaná Peninsula, Dominican Republic
The three-mile white sand beach stretches between Cape Samaná and Cape Cabrón, featuring turquoise waters and palm trees along the coastline.
The Samaná Peninsula remained largely untouched until recent decades when the construction of new highways and an airport increased accessibility to the region.
Local food vendors prepare traditional Dominican dishes like rice with beans and fresh seafood cooked over open fires directly on the beach.
Visitors can reach the beach via a 45-minute drive from Las Galeras on unpaved roads or take a boat ride from the fishing village.
The beach divides into two distinct sections: the western end with calm waters for swimming and the eastern end with strong waves for surfing.
