The Wind And In Cabarete

The best wind conditions are in January to March and June to September. The offshore reef is about 600 meters off the beach and the flat water stretching inbetween is all that slalom enthusiasts could wish for. From May to October the wind blows mainly sideshore from the right at 4-5 Beaufort. From November to April it mainly blows cross-offshore from the right and is less constant, but instead wave freaks can ride down waves up to 4 meters high. At this time, the conditions are perfect for intermediate wave riders and wave freaks. Upwind of the centre there is a shallow water section where beginners and intermediates feel comfortable and the tuition conditions are excellent. Beginners and intermediates can practice close to the shore while more experienced windsurfers can conquer the waves on the reef.



Surfing is regarded as a great alternative for all windsurfers and kitesurfers, and Cabarete has always been a hot surfing spot. The beginners spot, where the waves break on a sand bank, is only 5 minutes away from the centre. The shallow water allows you to easily walk through the waves.


Activities In Cabarete


Away from the wind sports, many people visit Cabarete for the spectacular diving, especially up towards Las Terrenas which is a 2 hour drive east along the coast where you will find numerous beaches to explore.



Five minutes from Cabarete are cliff jumping spots, you may need to ask a local where to turn off but they are easy to find.



Hire a care and drive 30 minutes east along the coast you will find a stunning beach Playa Grande where you can buy fresh lobster, a whole coconut ready to drink, and dine with your table on the beach.



When the swells roll in this is also an insanely beautiful surf spot, we can only recommend a sunrise surf here!



A little further on from Playa Grande is Blue Lagoon which is legendary for being bottomless. Scientists have allegedly made all sorts of tests and cannot find a bottom, maybe a little eerie but still stunning, the water is crystal clear so be sure to take your waterproof camera. Of course there is also a swing there. A short walk form blue lagoon is another smaller, with a bottom lagoon which has small, clear caves to explore. Apart from the above there are also numerous other excursions available, most of which you may want to use a tour operator. These excursions, include El Limon, the stunning waterfall, 27 waterfalls, Mountain biking, Kayaking, Abseiling The Magic Mushroom.



If you visit Cabarete between January and March you may be lucky to catch the Whale season which is spectacular. The whale watching happens at the Semana Peninsula, however some lucky people have reported seeing the whales from Cabarete bay when Paddle Boarding.

Nightlife In Cabarete

The strip of diverse bars along the beach give Cabarete a buzzing nightlife which starts to really pick up around 10pm. Friday night being the best for partying. The standard of food in Cabarete is superb, with people from all over the world bringing their influence, from German meat to Venezuelan Arepas, and of course plenty of seafood restaurants. Over some holiday periods like Easter the beaches can be packed with party goers.


Kids In Cabarete


The summer in Cabarete is absolutely ideal for kids, there is no shore break, if you are planning to take your kids in the sea, probably better to avoid the winter as the shore break is bigger. There are kid’s camps which allow your kids to get started on all the sports ready to go pro after a few years. All under the watchful eye of a professional instructor.
