OVERVIEW
Cabarete stretches along a curved bay on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Consistent winds, shallow water and an offshore reef support kitesurfing, windsurfing and sailing, while restaurants and bars line the sand. The town itself is narrow and busy, with most services concentrated along the coastal road.
Days revolve around lessons, equipment hire and time on the water, while evenings remain social along the beach. Steady trade winds favour kiteboarding and windsurfing, and nearby reef breaks add surfing options. Road traffic can be heavy and the centre is highly developed, but the concentration of specialist schools makes the town particularly practical for active travellers.

THINGS TO DO
Spend an evening in Cabarete
Spend an evening around Cabarete’s main evening district, choosing venues that fit the local scene rather than assuming every district offers the same atmosphere. Opening nights and late transport can vary.
Find Cabarete’s best-known beaches
Spend time at Cabarete’s best-known beaches rather than treating every nearby beach as interchangeable. Swimming conditions, access and facilities can vary, so check locally before entering the water.
Surf at Alis Surf Camp only in conditions suited to your ability. Breaks, currents and access vary by season, and unfamiliar locations are best approached with local advice.
Kitesurf at Cabarete’s main kitesurfing area only in wind and water conditions suited to your ability. Local instruction is important where launch areas, currents or seasonal winds are unfamiliar.
