Cabarete, located approximately 40 km east of Puerto Plata and 20 km east of the
POP Airport, is a charismatic little beach town that attracts sports enthusiasts
and sun worshippers from all over the world. Until the late 1980's, this town was not much of a town at all, but a vacation area for a few Dominicans from Moca and
Santiago. A couple of foreigners discovered the ideal windsurfing conditions in
Cabarete Bay, and this secret spot didn't stay secret very long. Since the late
80's the town has hosted both professional and amateur international windsurfing
competitions. In 2000, kiteboarding started to take off, and the town has hosted
international professional competitions every year since. Cabarete is considered
by many to be one of the top places in the world to windsurf and kiteboard, but
that's not all that can be done here. You can surf, mountain bike, horseback ride,
go canyoning, and take part in so many other adventures, or just simply enjoy the
fun in the sun to be found here. |
