Why choose Cabarete?
Cabarete is a must for windsurfer enthusiasts, famous for its excellent conditions for this sport. Life in Cabarete revolves around the six kilometers of the Cabarete Beach. On a two-kilometer-stretch (Cabarete Bay) businesses of all types have sprung up, many run by foreigners who first came as tourists and then came back to stay.
The restaurants, bars, surf shops and occasional hotel are located just far enough from the beach to add to the destination while not detracting from the enjoyment of the beach. Many feel the attractiveness of Cabarete is in its people. Tourists who enjoy the intimacy of the smaller non-inclusive hotels will love the spots here that encourage their guests to venture out and discover the real Cabarete. In the evening, the restaurants place their tables on the beach to serve dinner. While most are plastic tables, don't be fooled. The quality of some of the restaurants is first class. An evening of strolling along the beach under the stars from one place to another to pick the just the right restaurant for the evening is a singular experience. Many tourists even dress up to go out and get ready for a fun evening of people-watching. See and be seen.
While Cabarete caters to a young sporty crowd, it is also perfect for those who just want the leisure of sitting in the shade or taking in sun while watching the waves lap up against the beach. It is also a favorite spot for parents with small children.
