"On the Dominican Republic ’s northern coast, near the tip of the Samaná Peninsula, this unpopulated Atlantic beach stretches three miles from Cape Samaná to the cliffs of Cape Cabrón. To get here, you’ll need to take a four-wheel-drive vehicle or a boat charter from the small fishing village of Las Galeras, but once you arrive, you’ll find a nearly empty stretch of sand. The west end of the beach features calm waters ideal for swimming and snorkeling, while the east end has great waves for surfing. You’ll also find spots to rent kayaks, snorkeling gear, chairs, and umbrellas, as well as a few food vendors serving rice, beans, and seafood cooked over an open-hearth fire. This is the place to go when you want to get away from the crowds."

Extremely beautiful beach. It might seem quite isolated, but we reached it very easily by car and it has a lot of parking spaces (you can park everywhere on the side). I would say is one of the most beautiful beaches I have seen.

Playa Rincon is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic and even one of the best in the world due to its long stretch of pristine white sand and clear turquoise water. The road is beautiful, full of greenery, and passes through small villages where you really get a glimpse of local life. I visited on a rainy day, so the beach wasn’t at its best. Could not see the turquoise water after the storm. There was quite a lot of seaweed, and almost no people around. That said, it made the place feel very quiet and raw, and you could really feel how big and wild the beach is. It’s definitely the kind of place that probably looks very different on a sunny day.

This review will be written by a person who has traveled to almost every continent on earth. I have seen so many beaches that i can’t count them, even if i tried. This beach is the single most beautiful beach i have ever seen, nothing compares to it. If you are looking for: Crystal clear and turquoise blue water The most serene and tranquil beach Easy access and lots of parking space NO intrusive salespeople Miles and miles of untouched nature Unbelievably clean And small number of visitors Look no further, this is the beach you’ve been looking for. For context, when i’m traveling I use this beach to compare the beaches I visit and I can tell you nothing compares to it. I’ve started planning another trip to Dominican republic and with total honesty I can say that this beach was a big reason of why I want to visit DR again. If you don’t believe me, I recommend you take a chance and check it out yourself

Playa Rincón – A Hidden Paradise Worth Visiting!!!! Playa Rincón is hands down one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever visited. From the moment we started the drive there, we knew it was going to be special — the road itself is stunning, surrounded by lush nature and scenic views that set the mood for a perfect beach day in the amazing tropical weather. The beach is absolutely breathtaking. The water is crystal clear, calm, and inviting — perfect for swimming or just floating and relaxing. The landscape feels untouched, giving it that hidden paradise vibe. We were lucky to visit on a sunny day and spent hours just soaking it all in. Another thing that made the visit so memorable was the people. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the charm of the place. We truly had a great time, filled with laughter, sun, and pure peace. The only suggestion I would make is to improve the cleanliness of the beach. With just a bit more attention to keeping it tidy, Playa Rincón could easily be one of the top beaches in the world. Still, it’s an unforgettable spot — a must-visit for anyone traveling to the Dominican Republic. Love it.

Absolutely breathtaking. Between the crystal clear turquoise water and the horizon of mountains, it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is quite secluded(which is why it's so unspoiled and stunning), and the beach doesn't have much as far as food and drinks, so recommend bringing your own. This is the perfect place if you want to spend the day relaxing surrounded by the most stunning scenery. The water is perfect but in some areas a bit rocky. However, there is tonnes of soft sand under most of the water. 1000% recommend this beach it's a must see with your own eyes type of place.

They are given one of the most beautiful beaches imaginable, but sadly it’s being trashed with plastic. Plastic is absolutely everywhere — in the water and in the sand. The west side is much worse, but even the eastern side is polluted. It’s a shame

Been there in December. Not a lot of people but very big waves which makes it impossible to actually swim especially with kids. But it’s fun for sure. Beach is a bit dirty, trash not being cleaned up, but not enough trash to be a problem. Of course lots of sand and idyllic scenery.

It could be nicer, lots of garbage around the river, they just ruined it. The beach was full of seaweed( which you can't control)...but the freaking garbage, they ruin the place.Not worth going.
