A LITTLE ABOUT SAMANA 

The Little Town of Samana

Samana is a peninsula off the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, and can be seen clearly on any world map or globe.  It has the most beautiful beaches in the country, and possibly the world.

The peninsula is breathtakingly beautiful, with sky to sky coconut trees; its northern coast is lined with picturesque mountains and hills from the beginning of the peninsula to its end, some 50 kilometers.

The people are extremely poor because there is very little work, except for harvesting coconuts, coffee, cacao (chocolate), bananas, mangos, and avocados.  Throughout the countryside the "campesinos" can be seen washing their clothes in the rivers, and cooking their beans and rice on charcoal in the little open kitchens with thatched roofs.

Around the middle of the peninsula on its southern coast, bordering The Great Bay, is the little "pueblo" of Samana where Tropical Island Bed & Breakfast is located - five to twentyfive minutes from the beautiful beaches.  The little town of Samana, itself, is on the water since it borders the "Gran Bahia" or Great Bay.
