As mentioned by Chirimoya, Salinas is a beautiful spot, off the beaten track. On the peninsula sticking out into the bay you'll find a touristic area that is filled with Domincans from the capital on weekends -especially Sunday, but the rest of the week the place is pretty empty. The village itself is small, with a couple of colmadas, a couple of local restaurants/eating places that serves freshly caught fish for lunch and makes soup out of the remainder for dinner. When I was in Salinas in early 2006 a lady rented out a couple of rooms, but otherwise the place has only one hotel that had very few clients.
The surf on the ocean side can get a bit rough, on the side of the bay the water is calm. Not much to do but a beautiful spot for a couple of days of relaxation and chat with the local population, sitting at the local colmada with a coke or a beer and watch the world pass by.
