Bay of Rincón
Rincón Bay is a V-shape bay in the northeastern most in the Samaná Peninsula in the Dominican Republic. Only a dirt road leads to the entrance of the beach (Rincón Beach), but a few nearby resorts provides regular visitors.
The site is known for the indigenous Cigüayos who in this place were the first to resist Christopher Columbus' men with violence.[1] For this reason, the admiral gave it the name of the Bay of Arrows. It is located north of the town of Santa Bárbara de Samaná. It is gated from the Antilles Current by Cabo Cabrón and Cabo Samaná. The resort town of Las Galeras sits on the eastern side of the bay.
