The official tourism site describes Las Terrenas as one of the most dynamic destinations on the Samaná Peninsula, known for its white-sand beaches, cosmopolitan atmosphere and a cultural mix reflected in its restaurants, cafés and bars.

On the town beach (Playa Las Terrenas), fishermen's canoes share the sand with beachfront bars and hotels, and a boardwalk leads west to the Pueblo de los Pescadores.

When the 9-1-1 system was launched in Samaná province, two Dominican Navy boats were assigned to emergencies on the province's coasts and beaches: one on the Samaná city side and one on the Las Terrenas side.

The tourist security corps CESTUR (Cuerpo Especializado de Seguridad Turística) operates in the municipality of Las Terrenas.
