Why you'll love Cabarete

Why you'll love windsurfing in Cabarete!

Cabarete Windsurf Holiday Overview


A Cabarete Windsurf Holiday offers not only a world class windsurf destinations but is a great all round holiday destination; it has clock work wind, great wave sailing, flatwater freestyle, and offers non wind sports which ensures you can be on the water from the early mornings up until happy hour. It’s typically Caribbean with clear water, long sandy beaches, and hot all year round. It is the most mountainous island in the Caribbean making endless beautiful excursions into the mountains, from hardcore mountain biking to cascading in the waterfalls. The island is full of natural beauty and is very unspoilt, you only need to head a mile out of town to find a completely undeveloped area.

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.

Hire a car and drive 30 minutes east along the coast. You will find a stunning beach, Playa Grande (please DO NOT buy lobster - they are very slow-growing animals). When the swells roll in, this is also an insanely beautiful surf spot.

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.
