About
Sabana de la Mar is a municipality in Hato Mayor province, on the eastern side of the Dominican Republic. It lies along Samaná Bay, on the Caribbean coast, and its setting is shaped by that water.
A coastal base in the east
The town's main draw is its coastal position. Samaná Bay opens the area to the sea and to the views across it, and the pace here tends to follow the water rather than the city. For a visitor, Sabana de la Mar works well as a quiet place to stop on a journey along the eastern coast.
Close to Los Haitises
Its proximity to Los Haitises National Park is the reason many travellers come this way. The park is a natural area of mangroves, limestone hills and waterways, and it is a short distance from the municipality. Visitors who want to spend time in a landscape of water and green hills will find the town a practical place to plan that day.
What to expect
- A small coastal municipality, suited to a slower visit
- Views and access to Samaná Bay
- Nearby Los Haitises National Park for nature outings
- A base for exploring the surrounding eastern coast
Sabana de la Mar suits visitors who value water, open landscape and unhurried days. Those looking for large-scale attractions or a busy town centre may find it more modest, but for a coastal stop with easy access to a national park, it offers a clear and calm place to visit.
