Cabarete

Cabarete is a small, laid-back Caribbean beach village on the northern shore of the Dominican Republic – also known as the city of kitesurfing and windsurfing. The village is spread out across the centre of a gorgeous, semi-circular beach of golden, sun-soaked, sand. Just behind lies a tranquil lagoon, backed up by richly verdant hills overflowing with luxurious tropical vegetation. Seen as the perfect tropical vacation spot for either the young traveller seeking fun, new friends and sporting adventures or older visitors looking to relax Carabete's charming, hip ambience has something for everyone. Must do activities include a sunrise walk along the length of Cabarete Bay; kiteboarding - there is a free lesson at the kiteboarding school in Hotel Caracol's beach club; sample Mamajuana, an after dinner drink of honey, rum and wine and try the Shrimp at Popy's (La Casita) on the beach
