Playa Las Cañas in the distance

A lush, green landscape descends towards a calm sea, with a small island visible in the distance. The scene is framed by trees and vegetation under a partly cloudy sky. A dirt path leads into the view.

Playa Las Cañas is a beautiful, quiet beach located on the Samaná peninsula in the Dominican Republic. Known for its white sand and crystal-clear waters, this beach is an ideal destination for those looking to relax in a natural, uncrowded environment.

But Playa Las Cañas is generally only accessible with real 4x4 vehicles, because the last part of the “road” is unpaved, partly full of mud and with some very mountainous sections.

Those who manage it will be rewarded with a 2 km long, deserted sandy beach lined with palm trees.
