About Playa Frontón
Playa Frontón lies east of Las Galeras, at the foot of a cliff. There is no road access: you arrive by boat, which is how we go, or on foot along the trail that starts in Las Galeras, and that is why it stays so empty compared with the beaches on the north side of the peninsula.
The water is clear and the area is known among people who snorkel. There are no services on the beach, so whatever you need has to come with you.
What is included
- Return boat transfer from the pier in Santa Bárbara de Samaná
