Beautiful area; the beach is magnificent and quite quiet. The waves are not too strong; perfect for swimming and for children.
There is a restaurant and toilets on site. You can rent beach chairs or bring your own. You can also bring your lunch. Food and drinks at the restaurant are affordable.

This lovely beach is in El Limon, Samana Province, not Las Terrenas. It is within driving distance of Las Terrenas, Samana, Las Galeras, and the big nearby resorts. The easiest way to find it is by GPS. But keep driving past the public part of Playa Moron and head towards Cap El Limon restaurant instead. When you get to the big white resort wall gates, let the guard know you are going to the restaurant. You will be able to park your vehicle there as well as enjoy beach chairs and umbrellas. They will bring drinks and food to your umbrella, too!
This is a very pretty beach and relatively luxurious compared to other local beaches as far as amenities like toilets and outdoor showers. The restaurant has good food and spectacular views. You will find decent snorkeling near the rocky shore to the right of the cove. This is a great place to spend a lazy afternoon in the sun and waves, and to grab a nice dinner before heading back to your lodging!

In the last 5 years I have seen quite a few beaches in the Caribbean and this one is a tie for 1st with Isla Saona. Both are amazing for two totally separate reasons.
We went after the hurricane and most of the beaches were murky. This one was not and that may have been the reason we were the only people there. One other couple was off in the distance and a local, cooking in the entrance.
The peace is immaculate and pristine. Waters are beautiful and calm for the most part. This a mountainous area so you feel very secluded and private as this provides a natural barrier.
The view is amazing. The area we parked at had a couple of huge estates that were built into the mountainside and over hang the edge of the terrain. There is also a smaller land mass that sits in the horizon and adds to the visage.
The thing I love best is it is away from the "tourist" world that most of the Dominican Republic is known for.

Everything went well. Had a lot of fun. Still not fluent with my Spanish so things were touch and go a few times as few people spoke English, working on improving my Spanish! Felt safe as we walked the local streets but noted some of the drivers of scooters thought it was necessary to get as close as they could to you, even though both lanes were available. Biggest issues were getting gringo’d at some places, which got really old fast.

Wonderful beach that can be reached by crossing hills full of vegetation. The sea is always a little rough but remains crystal clear. Eating fish cooked by locals on the beach is a must try. I advise against taking the piña colada, very expensive and the worst I have ever tried.

Very easy to find, just head east from Las Terrenas, stick to the coast, you can't miss it. So peaceful and beautiful here, with an unusual large grassy area under the palm trees for shade.
Gentle water, no riptides, few people and we saw a higher proportion of local Dominican families here than any where else.
Was really really lovely.

Thie Moron Beach on Las Terrenas it's one of the most beatiful beach that I found on Samana. It's a small beach area that offer you a pleasant sensation of privacy
To arrive to this beach it's not neccesary a 4x4 vehiicule, but I recomend it. The last meters to arrive to this beach are uful, so you have to go througt a privaty property
Enjoy the view that offer you the place and nature.

The opposite side of the majority of the beaches, Playa Moron faces a big hotel complex.
Its wide soft sand beach, is a pleasure to the toes. Its quiet and you often have the beach to yourself......sheer delight.

Ok, I am a fan of secluded beaches. I prefer to be there with just my group of people and no one else. So that is why I rate Playa Morón so high. I also love waves and body surfing and you definitely can have some fun here. It's not necessarily a beach that I would recommend you hop in your vehicle and just go visit. You should speak some Spanish or go with someone who has experience. It's a little bit out of the way to get to but that's what makes beaches like Morón so great also. You also can't drive right up to the beach. Look for the trail which can be very muddy or climb through an opening in the cyclone fence near the road where you'll park. Another reason it's better to go with someone who has local experience.

Hola! Would we be able to reach the beach with a regular car, or does it require a 4x4. We will be renting a car and we typically opt for the smallest option - just wondering if we'd be better off with a 4x4... any advice would be greatly appreciated! Gracias!

Regular car should do it! The security guard at the gate will watch your car for a few pesos and the walk is then 5 min. to the beach
