Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Bus
From the center of Samana, head to the main bus terminal located on Calle 27 de Febrero. Look for a bus heading towards Las Galeras, as most buses will pass by Playa Rincon. The bus ride will take about 30-40 minutes. Inform the bus driver that you want to get off at Playa Rincon, and they will drop you off at the entrance to the beach.
Motorbike Taxi (Motoconcho)
If you prefer a faster option, you can take a motoconcho. These motorcycle taxis are available throughout the streets of Samana. Simply hail one down and tell the driver you want to go to Playa Rincon. The ride will take approximately 20 minutes, and the drivers are familiar with the route. Be sure to agree on the fare before starting your journey.
Walking
If you are up for an adventure and are staying relatively close to Playa Rincon, you can walk. Start from the central park (Parque de la Libertad) and head east towards the coastline. Follow the path that leads you along the shore until you reach the beach. This route is scenic but may take about 1.5 hours, so be prepared with water and sun protection.
Shared Taxi
You can also opt for a shared taxi, which is a convenient option. Head to the area near the main bus terminal or Parque de la Libertad, where you will find shared taxis heading to Playa Rincon. They will leave once they have enough passengers, and the ride typically takes around 25-30 minutes. Make sure to ask the driver if they’re going directly to Playa Rincon.
