Why go

Punta Popy and Las Ballenas give the town two named shorelines to explore, while the former fishing settlement has grown into a place with restaurants and shops. It offers a different base from a secluded beach: you can divide time between the water and the town without treating the whole Samaná Peninsula as one stop.

What to look for

  • Punta Popy and Las Ballenas are the town's best-known beaches.
  • The beachfront and town streets show the change from fishing village to resort town.

Useful to know

  • Pick a beach area first; the named shores are distinct parts of Las Terrenas.
  • Leave additional time if you plan to explore elsewhere on the Samaná Peninsula.
