Playa El Anclon beach

Playa El Anclon is a beach on the northern coast of Samana peninsula in Dominican Republic. This is a very pleasant spot with palms, comfortable entry into the water, without waves and almost without algae. You will also have the opportunity to walk to some other neighboring beaches located to the west and to the east. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Right near the beach, there are several upscale villas for rent - up to US$1000 per night. Within a walking distance from El Anclone beach, there are also few more accommodation options with rooms' fares starting from US$100 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Main airports in Dominican republic: Punta Cana international airport (PUJ), Santo Domingo international airport (SDQ) and Puerto Plata international airport (POP).

It is convenient to use a taxi, which is relatively inexpensive. For example, a trip from south to north of the country can cost $100.

To move between the small towns you may use minibuses (shuttle buses). Locals call them gua-gua. One ride costs a few dollars. Bus stations are called parada.

There is also good bus transport system in the country. We recommend Caribe Tours and Metro companies. Buses are brand new, and travel from one end of the country to another will cost about $10.

Though all prices given above are in U.S. dollars, it is better to have local money (peso) when traveling around the country.

When to go [edit]

Feel free to relax in Dominicana any time of year. The sea is warmest in summer, but the heat is the most intense as well. And there is also a hurricane season from June to October. On the other side, the winter weather is more comfortable, but seawater at the northern coast is too cold that time.
