Cabarete is a charming town on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. It is one of the three major residential and holiday resort towns in the Province of Puerto Plata .

Beaches and Water Sports

Cabarete is famous particularly for kitesurfing and windsurfing and is considered one of the best places to enjoy these sports in the Caribbean. Many championship events are held on the beaches during the year which attracts large numbers of well-known aficionados and supporters from all over the world.

Apart from Cabarete Beach itself, Kite Beach and Playa Encuentro offer long sandy beaches with plenty of open space and good winds to enable plenty of sporting activity throughout the whole day.

One of the advantages is the coral reef that shelters the bay from the full force of the Atlantic Ocean. Another is the trade winds that provide the impetus for these sports. One of the additional benefits is that early in the day the winds are lighter, making it ideal for beginners to learn safely. As the day progresses winds strengthen and that is when the experienced enthusiasts can display their skills to the full.

All the beaches have Kite and Surf schools where beginners can learn to ride the waves and if you don’t want to transport your own equipment when visiting on holiday you can hire excellent quality kites relative to your level of experience.

Cabarete Location

Although famous as a watersport and vacation center that is not the only reason to come to Cabarete. The town is very near the airport in Puerto Plata. 20 minutes or so will see you in your holiday accommodation or your home here and ready to relax and enjoy the Caribbean lifestyle. For the future, the proposed new road from Santiago will enable a substantially reduced travel time for both locals and holidaymakers who choose to arrive at Santiago's Cibao International Airport.
