Activities
in Cabarete:
Kiteboarding
|
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, so
there is usually plenty of room to pump up your kite and layout your
lines.
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.
Aside from the Ocean Dream beach area Cabarete has
several other excellent spots for kiteboarding including Kitebeach,
Encuentro for 5 meter waves, and La Boca - flat water where the river
meets the ocean. Downwinders are very popular on the north coast because
of the safety due to predictable winds and almost constant beach access
along the north coast. 10 mile downwind trips of two hours in Cabarete
are a must.
