Carenero is a small bay about 3-4 miles past Samana with a little boatyard, some small boats drug up on the beach that go back and forth to Cayo Levantado and also whale watch. There is nothing else there and the nearest hotels are several miles away. Much of the bay's shoreline has been filled with construction refuse from the Pinero Group hotels in preparation to developing it for a marina. However, all work on this stopped several months ago.
