Las Terrenas › Samaná Peninsula
A beach area east of Las Terrenas with calmer water and a mix of villas and apartments.
Punta Popy is a beach area to the east of central Las Terrenas. The water is calmer than the main Las Terrenas beach and the atmosphere is more residential than tourist. There are villas, apartments, and small hotels along the beachfront. It is a popular choice for people who want direct beach access without being in the middle of the Las Terrenas restaurant and nightlife strip.
Punta Popy appeals to people who want Las Terrenas beach living without the density of the main strip. The beach itself has calmer water than some other parts of the coast, making it good for swimming year-round. Families in particular tend to prefer it over the more social central areas.
