Travel
notes
Inside,
the roads are tortuoses, unevens and with potholes. The service of local bus is
good but slow.
Arriving
at Sabana de La Mar with own car, it's impossible to ferry the car. Because of
low seabeds, the ferry don't run of ferry-boat.
At
times the
motorcyclists get to ferry the motorcycle, at times no.
The
low seabeds, especially during the low tide, can to oblige the ferry to stop at
a certain distance from the coast.
In
this case, the transhipment of passengers and baggages happens with small motor
boats, for the joy of the enthusiasts of photography and adventure.
On
the map, this route for to reach Samana appears and is shorter than the other,
but the traveltime is unforeseeable.
Why
Samana
A
Canadian married couple of French language, that from years winter for three months
(January, February, March) in Dominican Republic,
word
for word says: ''we divide our long vacation between Samana peninsula and Boca
Chica. In the north, we find virgin and
uncontaminated
beaches of Las Terrenas, surrounded by
luxuriant hills (because rains more frequently),
while
in Boca Chica there is a beach certainly
no virgin but spectacular, with all services,
a
bay with tepid and calm
water and always good weather. And we are nearby Santo
Domingo Capital City, rich in colour and night
life.''
From
Samana is possible to reach in a short time the impressive beaches of Las
Terrenas, Las Galeras and Playa Rincon,
that extend for miles,
with
a sea that has a thousand colours, easy and safe seabeds inside the barrier reef.
Only for expert scuba divers the dives over the reef.

off Cabo Samana from Canada, and after enter in the bay for to mate and to reproduce.
Finally,
