Is it also possible to take a water taxi from Las Terrenas to Playa Rincon?
No, never heard about that, it?s too far.
Or, since we are renting quads, would it be relatively easy for us to make our way there without a guide?
Playa Rincon looks beautiful!
Follow the road to El Limon/Samana/Las Galeras. Around 8 kilometers before reaching LG, you turn left to Playa Rincon (traffic sign). Or go on to LG and take a water taxi.
Playa Rincon is beautiful, but near Las Terrenas there?s a beautiful long beach really topping Rincon - Playa Bonita/Playa Cozon, where I spent several holidays in the Viva Wyndham (actually it?s closed). If you are a "beach-runner": take a concho to Playa Bonita (last year it was 80 Pesos from Plaza Rosada), walk along that beautiful beach, passing the Bahia Estella/Viva Wyndham up to a beachbar, called "Dos Rios" (hope, it still exists, good food, good prices, cold Presidente). When you continue your walk, cross the river and enjoy that great beach till the next river (behind, it isn?t special anymore). It?s a very long walk, because you?ll have to return to Playa Bonita.
Last year it was also possible to reach the "Dos Rios" by concho/car (if you are?nt a "beach-runner"), but meantime a building project called "Jardines de Cozon" was started, so I don`t know what?s on at Bahia Cozon actually.
I?m not allowed to post some of my pics here, so please "google" for further information about Playa Cozon. It?s really worth going there.
Saludos + sorry for my bad English
