checked with friends in las terrenas and samana and family in las galeras. nothing heard about murders and rapes. maybe you've been reading a book on Roman history and got the places, times mixed up? nice try, but when will you guys put an end to your bad-mouthing the province of samana. it's on the rise and your b.s. stories won't slow it down.

Maybe it was simply a rumor?

We all know how quickly a rumor spreads, especially in a country filled with "bochinchosos"!

Yes! NALS is on to something, I suspect.

And so maybe now this thread can be closed? (Just asking).

It has been some time since I visited Samana. We were sailing in 1996 and stayed there for a few weeks. The people were exceptionally welcoming, and I enjoyed getting to spend the time with them. Over the years I have lost contact. If any of you remember Grant's (across from the dock), you may be able to help me locate some of them.

Would you leave your $1,000 camera on the sands of Miami Beach while you swim? My point is that it's not a good idea to do this anywhere, the Samana peninsula included. And secluded beaches are OK as long as there are several in your group and don't flash your wealth. Take a local guide with you if you want to shoot isolated places. He'll see that you stay safe.

Check with your hotel or whoever is providing your accommodations in Las Galeras.
