Playa las Flechas

This small beach, 5km east of Samaná, is easily accessible from town. It's thought by many historians to be the site of a small and short battle between Columbus’ crew and the Ciguayos, a Taíno cacique (chiefdom), in which the Spaniards were driven back to their ship. A week later, their differences somehow reconciled, they formed an alliance against rival caciques.
