General - Santa Bárbara de Samaná (usually called Samana) lies on the southern side of the Samana Peninsula, which extends almost 30 miles out from the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The town overlooks the large bay of Bahia de Samana. The town has an unusual history as it was settled by two shiploads of freed American slaves around 1824 and, to this day, many residents speak English as a first language.
