Weekend in Las Terrenas, DR (Dudu Lagoon, La Cascada el Limón and Playa Cosón & las Canas)
#lasterrenas #dominicanrepublic #caribbeanbeaches
We decided to spend a long weekend in Las Terrenas, in the North East of the Dominican Republic (Samaná Peninsula).
The travel itinerary included driving from Playa Encuentro via Dudu Lagoon to Las Terrenas. We then visited Playa Cosón which is next to the famous Playa Bonita and only around 5 minutes outside the town of Las Terrenas. Playa Cosón needs a larger swell for the surf to work but it was fun regardless.
The next day was a whistle stop tour of Cascada El Limón (a.k.a Salto el Limon or Limon Waterfall) where you can see and swim in 3 different waterfalls. We decided to walk the 1.5km but you can also get a horseback ride to the waterfalls. We ended the weekend with an afternoon trip to Playa Las Canas which is a beautiful and secluded beach North East of Las Terrenas.

@Makui Mack mack indeed they were! El Coson was great although Playa Las Canas was the best.
Glad you are having very good time in the real Dominican Republic.

@@WiththeSparrows South has a totally diferent landscape, is our dry region, I was in Playa los Patos and we had to get out of the beach and swim in snall river because waves was bigs and strong, if you go to the south soend few nights in Santo Domingo and start from there, in Bani there are also the Biggest dunes in the caribbean so you can do some surf in the sand too hahahh.

@Ricardo Vasquez - super useful as always! The South does seem like it might be worth checking out for surf, although it doesn't seem quite as consistent as the North. I've spent many years in the Middle East so I've seen my fair share of sand dunes!
nice vid man! I was just in Las Terrenas last week, surfing Playa Bonita.

@diabolical1976 Thanks! It's a really nice place and apparently the reef at El Coson can be really good but it doesn't pick up as much swell as Encuentro....a lot less people though so you take the rough with the smooth.

Did you rent a board there, or bring your own? I don’t particularly want to bring me board

@James Brown we all had our boards that we brought from Playa Encuentro. However, there are lots of places to rent boards so you don't necessarily have to bring your own board.....it's probably best as well because it means that you can choose a board that suits the waves on any given day. Are you just heading to Las Terrenas or looking to go to other surf spots like Playa Encuentro/Cabarete area?
are you going to the East Coast? La Romana , Bayahibe , Punta Cana ?
