Default How about Playa Ricon

Playa Ricon: good for snorkling or just swimming and sunning on the beach?

In front of the Grand Paradise Samana in Las Galeras is a good snorkeling spot. It was put together by a Japanese migrant and they charge admission to pay for the costs of keeping the spot. Las Galeras is on the northeastern side of Samana.
