We saw a ton of interesting wildlife while taking this hike! Iguanas, snakes (yes, just a few), and some really cool plants. There might be the occasional horse trekkers on the path, so keep an ear out for that. It’s about a 15 minute walk before you reach the beach.
Once you get there, you can check out the caves which would be to your left (if you’re facing the beach). I managed to climb a tree and crack open a coconut with my superior coconut-opening skills.
Don’t forget your snorkeling gear and some water shoes. There are a lot of sea urchins and sharp rocks to climb, so I highly recommend some water shoes.
If I Could Do It Again
I would definitely bring water shoes! And sunscreen. Yes, I underestimated how much time we would actually spend there, so I figured I didn’t need to bring any. I would also love to bring a drone to this area and get some shots of the beach. It really is a breathtaking, beautiful secluded beach. A perfect day trip from Las Galeras or Samana!
