and surroundings

Some specific destinations or activities we suggest are visiting Barrigona Beach, a remote yet close beach that offers a true nature experience. It is a white sand beach, with tropical vegetation surrounding it. Great nature family trip. Playa Carrillo Beach to the South is also very beautiful, and especially known for being a very safe one, ideal for families. Samara itself is a very beautiful beach, especially its Southern End. We recommend visiting Isla Chora Island, you can do that by booking the snorkeling – kayaking tour that departs daily. This remote and protected island has some amazing sites for snorkeling.

Samara is perhaps one of the best developed beach communities, where development has arrived, yet it still maintains a lot of nature, small town charm and friendly people. There are many restaurants and bars in town, so dining will never be an issue.
