Beaches are just minutes away!
Monte Placido is not "on" the beach. However, why stay to one beach in town, when there are so many beautiful beaches to discover. Monte Placido is strategically located to exploring the dozen pristine beaches along the beautiful coast line of the Samana Peninsula. El Portillo Beach is a short five minutes away and popular for kite surfing. It offers calm waters and easterly trade winds every afternoon.
You will arrive at Playa Popy in only ten minutes. Fishing and snorkeling are enjoyable excursions. The roads to Playa Valle and Playa Rincon have been recently renovated for a comfortable drive.
The aquarium in Las Galleras is an interesting day trip. As one of guest said, the best is to plan the beach outings from the pool deck at the end of the day while enjoying the view.
