Palm-lined Caribbean beaches and humpback whales in Samaná Bay.

Punta Cana is the Dominican Republic’s beach resort coast, with endless white sand and calm water. The Samaná Peninsula to the north is wilder: humpback whales gather in Samaná Bay from January to March, and Las Terrenas has a relaxed village vibe.
