Once a fishing village, it was settled by French and Italian expats from the 1970s onwards, and that mix still shows in its bakeries, restaurants and relaxed, slightly bohemian feel.\r\n\r\nThe town sits on a long stretch of beach, with Playa Las Ballenas and Playa Punta Popy close to the centre, and quieter beaches such as Playa Bonita and Playa Cos\u00f3n a short ride away. Inland, the hills hide the El Lim\u00f3n waterfall, reached on foot or on horseback.\r\n\r\nSince the motorway from Santo Domingo opened, the town is about two and a half hours from the capital and half an hour from El Catey airport. From mid-January to March, it is an easy base for whale watching in Saman\u00e1 Bay.
