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.
