Our list of quintessential Dominican Republic Beyond the Resort experiences would have been incomplete without adding the laidback beach town of Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, which combines the best of both beachside relaxation and island adventure.
This is one of the best travel destinations for adventurous junkies and watersport lovers in the Caribbean and across the world. In the Cabarete region, you can experience water sports like never before. Often called the kitesurfing capital of the Caribbean, the five main beaches, rivers, and lagoons of Cabarete provide ideal conditions for all sorts of watersports. It offers some fun for everyone. Whether you want to try kayaking for the first time or have been a kitesurfing enthusiast looking for an amazing kitesurfing tour all your life, you will likely find it at Cabarete.
With ideal conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, the region also holds multiple international championships for watersports. Playa Encuentro is a popular spot to catch a wave, whether you want to learn the basics or watch experienced surfers along the coast.
The beach village is pretty small, encompassing only one main street with tiny houses and hotels. However, don’t let the size fool you into not visiting this ideal spot for adventure sports in the Dominican Republic.
Besides water sports, you can also enjoy the amazing beach views from this small town, where you can interact with the warm locals and earn about the culture and traditions of the area. The Cabarete village is ideal for solo travellers, couples, or even large groups of people who want to experience village life in the beautiful haven of the Caribbean. Once you visit the splendid beaches along with the lush green countrysides of Cabarete, we doubt you will ever be able to forget about it!
The community life of Cabarete is extremely exciting, with local fundraisers and events happening all year round.
