Stretched along the C-5 between the beach and lagoon that
bear its name, Cabarete is a crowded international
enclave that owes its existence almost entirely to
windsurfing.
The main beach, Playa Cabarete, has ideal conditions for the
sport, and the multicultural cross-section of its
aficionados attracts a growing community from across the
globe.
Arrival and Accommodation
Virtually all of Cabarete is on the Carretera 5.
Buses, guaguas and motoconchos will all drop
you off along the main strip, a crowded patchwork of
restaurants and bars, tour operators and souvenir shops.
Bahía Arena
Carretera 5 phone 809/571-0370, fax 571-0523 .
The best high-end value, especially if you're with a large
group: a selection of individually designed condominiums
right by a quieter stretch of beach with a pool and tennis
court as well. US$75-100. |
Banana Boat
Carretera 5 phone & fax 809/571-0690. The oldest

El Magnifico
Carretera 5 phone & fax 809/571-0868. Three
different buildings with eye-catching architecture and wild

from the town centre. US$75-100.

Small hotel with good, clean rooms and a peaceful garden and
