Malecon
This incredible boardwalk winds along the Samana Bay, where tourists, locals, artists and musicians gather to relax near the shoreline and take in epic views of Dominican Republic’s striking blue horizon. Lively outdoor cafes serving strong brews and local cuisine, as well as interesting shops selling handmade items, line this strip that’s a popular destination for travelers to Samana.
Whether it’s taking a morning seaside stroll along sandy palm-lined beaches, stopping by the iconic Cayenas del Mar Beach Club for an afternoon drink, fishing the pier or touring the famous La Churcha of Samana, a trip to Maleon offers more than just a chance to check out the bay.
Practical Info
The Malecon is worth a trip any time of year, but harvest festivals are an age-old tradition that travelers can experience most Friday nights between late August and October—making this the perfect time to visit.
