Bahia Escondida (Hidden Bay)
Marina at Bahia Escondida
Going westward along the north shoreline of Samana Bay, the first of many anchorages, is a small bay tucked behind and to the west of the long raised causeway to the island of Cayo Vigie.
Heading UP BAY—WEST
19°11.68N 69°20.32W
1.75 nm from Santa Babara
One mile onward is PUERTO BAHIA, the site of private residences and a new marina facility (shown above). 19.11.613 N 69.21.392 W. This facility can serve as an alternative to anchoring at Santa Barbara Samana for those who prefer a marina.
The bay has a private beach and two small hotels with access to Samana town up a step hill. Anchor in nine feet of water over a muddy bottom with some protection from the trade winds.
Anchorages:
All along this coastline are numerous anchorages which all have their own sandy beaches with a backdrop of coconut trees and luscious green hills. Feel free to call anyone of them your own as it is unlikely that you will have much company, if any. You will find yourself sailing from one anchorage you describe as the perfect place, to another which seems to surpass all others. It is impossible to put them in any order of merit as they are all quintessential Caribbean anchorages.
