Cabarete is very well known throughout the Dominican Republic as
one of the most exciting and fun-filled destinations on the north
coast.
Listed here are just a few of the many outdoor activities you, your
family and friends can enjoy.
Kiteboarding
Launch your kite right at your door step!
Ocean Dream is located at the western end of Cabarete beach.
This is the best place to launch and land kites in Cabarete
since the beach is very wide, more than 60 meters in some
parts. Offshore about 200 meters is a reef that often creates
fantastic waves for perfect sideshore glassy wave riding.
The swell is usually around 1 meter in the summer and can
go up to 3 meters in the winter.

Stand Up Paddle (SUP) board
Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) is the fastest
growing sport across the world. Because you don’t need
waves to propel yourself, you can do it on any open water.
Not only SUP is fun and perfect for your entire family (anyone
can do it), but SUP also has huge benefit for you. A total
core and cardiovascular workout, stand up paddling works your
entire body and mind. Cabarete is one of the best places for
SUP. You can do it in the bay, on flat water, cruising along
the coast of the north Shore of the Dominican Republic, in
the waves, surfing on the reef and on the inland river, discovering
the beauty of the Dominican wild life.
