Las Terrenas is internationally known for its sandy beaches and great restaurants. It’s a multi-cultured community with residents and visitors from around the world. It is a vibrant town with well stocked grocery stores and shopping of all kinds. It’s generally a casual atmosphere, but can also be chic and elegant. It is only 20 minutes east of the El Catey- Samana International Airport and 2 hours away from the capital city of Santo Domingo which has great shopping and places full of history and culture. Las Terrenas is a popular tourist destination for beach combing and a true Caribbean lifestyle. There are also great doctors and medical facilities and it is a great place to retire or spend vacations or seasonal residence. Rumor has it that the Ministry of Tourism in the Dominican Republic has great plans for the Samana Peninsula.
