Escocesa Bay

Escocesa Bay is a broad indentation on the northeastern coast of Hispaniola, between the headlands of Cabo Francés Viejo and Cabo Cabrón. The Samaná peninsula forms its eastern side, with mountains rising above the shore. Older maps depict the peninsula as an island, reflecting a former connection between this bay and Samaná Bay to the south. The open bay faces the Atlantic beyond the northern coast.
