We are in the town of Las Terrenas located in the Samaná province of the Dominican Republic. This is a walking tour of the town which starts on the Las Terranas main road and also includes a walk on the beach road. We where there in December and this is actually New Year (31/12). The video follows our walk up the main road where we try to give the viewer an idea of the atmosphere of this rather small Caribbean island fishing town.
The main road offers tourists a limited number of shops, restaurants and excursion sale agents. On the beach road there are a few more restaurants and bars and also a very "limited" local shopping center. As tourists who enjoy visiting local towns in the destinations we visit we where rather disappointed with the Town of Las Terranas. Our opinion (just our opinion) was that the town lacked the local (Dominican) business and culinary experiences that you for example meet in Asia. Street kitchens etc. although local art was very abundant!! The Les Terranas area is full of hotels catering to all needs. Many of the hotels are big all inclusive resorts which are very popular with Canadian and American tourists, also the European charter tourists who typically seem to stay at these resorts for 14 days (just as we ourselves did).
Wiki writes about Las Terrenas, "It is internationally known for its high rate of tourism and its white sand beaches and clear waters. Among the most frequented places visitors are mostly European nationality Spanish, Italian, French and German. One of the best known people or community in the town, is the village of fishermen. Its name comes from the town was formerly mainly inhabited by fishermen. Among the best known beaches are beach poppy tip and whales. The attractions of this region is constantly growing due to investment in tourist buildings like hotels, clubs, restaurants and shopping such places as Port Plaza las Terrenas, with a similar architecture of a boat. In the evenings entertainment centers are crowded by hundreds of tourists and like their restaurants with a wonderful view of the beach..."
Wiki writes about Samana, "Samaná (Spanish pronunciation: [samaˈna]) is a province of the Dominican Republic. Its capital is Santa Bárbara de Samaná, usually known as Samaná. Samaná is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic. It is known for its mountains of which it is almost entirely formed. Samaná has numerous beaches, and with the 6 November 2006 opening of the new Samaná El Catey International Airport, it is bound to become one of major tourist destinations in the Dominican Republic..."
Wiki writes about The Dominican Republic, The Dominican Republic (Listeni/dəˌmɪnɨkən rɨˈpʌblɪk/; Spanish: República Dominicana [reˈpuβlika ðominiˈkana]) is a nation on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western three-eighths of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands, along with Saint Martin, that are shared by two countries. Both by area and population, the Dominican Republic is the second-largest Caribbean nation (after Cuba), with 48,445 square kilometres (18,705 sq mi) and nearly 10 million people, one million of which live in the capital city, Santo Domingo.."
This footage was filmed in Las Terrenas a small town located in the Samaná province on the island of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean.

A very small and busy place (busy in the way of traffic), not that much to see as we had expected from an old fishing town. The bikes and cars somehow made the air feel more polluted than it does on a busy Thailand street where the traffic can be busier (maybe the vehicles are newer in Thailand). Thanks for watching Steve, and best wishes back to you too.

J'ai passé plus de 4 mois à l'hiver 2019/20 et j'ai été charmé par le mélange bien dosé entre les tourismes et les domicains. D'après votre vidéo vous avez filmé que les alentours de la jonction de la route qui longe la plage et de la rue principal perpendiculaire (lieux de rassemblement par excellence des touristes peu aventureux) et vous dites être déçus par le peu de restaurants et d'endroit à visiter. Pourtant la ville s'étale sur 3 à 4 rues principales pittoresques qui prennent chacune près d'une heure à parcourir à pieds et ou les cafés, restaurants, magasins abondent. Pour cela il faut s'aventurer dans les secteurs ou les dominicains sont majoritaires et sont toujours accueillants. Il n'y a pas une ruelle que je n'ai pas arpentée ainsi que les sentiers en forêt à flanc de colline qui encercle la ville. Juste la route (bordée d'hôtels) qui longe la plage s'étale sur plusieurs kilomètres. J'y retourne passé mon hiver prochain car je suis retraité (4 mois).

@@TravellerYT Juste un mot pour dire que cela fait plus de 15 ans que je passe en moyenne un mois tous les hivers en république Dominicaine surtout dans la régions de Puerto Plata et Cabarète mais depuis 3 ans, à la retraite je suis passé à 4 mois et c'est Las Terrenas dans la péninsule de Samana qui est pour l'instant mon lieu privilégié.

Ou est-ce qu on peut trouver un apartement d une chambre a coucher a prix modique ( prix local dominicain) pour plus d un mois ?

@@victorlionelnazaire685 J'ai déjà réservé pour cet hiver pour 4 mois un studio complet pour 400$ can par mois mais je l'avais repéré l'année passé. L'année passée je payais 1000$ par mois pour un studio avec service et internet (première visite à Las Terrenas). Il est difficile de donner des adresses si on ne vient pas une première fois pour visiter et repérer les endroits qui nous conviennent. On peu avoir une simple chambre pour 250$can par mois comme des maisonnettes de 500$ à 2000$ par mois dans la ville ou près de la plage. Je parle de Las Terrenas. Mais en général à Cabarète ou j'allais avant (pendant plus de 10 ans) je n'ai jamais payé plus de 500$can pour une chambre ou un appart pour un mois. Au moment que tu reste plus d'un mois on te fait un tarif d'au moins 50% de moins que le prix habituel. Il y a des endroits qui préfèrent des clients à long terme moins exigeants et qui assurent des revenus réguliers.
