Cano Frio River

Somewhere near the edge of Playa Rincon—which is easily one of the best beaches in Dominican Republic—lies the Cano Frio River. This cooling stream feeds into a quiet pool that’s perfect for relaxing in along the sheltered shores of Samana. Travelers love to escape the heat by taking a quiet dip in this secluded destination, and while Cano Frio’s chilly pool is a favorite spot among visitors, the world-class snorkeling at the other end of Playa Rincon is an equally popular stop.
