MASTER OF THE OCEAN

ABOUT CABARETE

(courtesy of www.activecabarete.com)

 

Cabarete is a small, laid-back Caribbean beach village located only 20 minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport on the northern shore of the Dominican Republic. With its charming, hip ambience and a combination of relaxed and adventurous lifestyles, most visitors can barely resist the spontaneous temptation of extending their stay and just hang around the place for another while.

The perfect blend of the surrounding physical elements of nature such as the location of the offshore reef at the entrance of the bay, the direction from which the trade winds usually blow, and the low-lying hills behind the village, which cause a unique thermal effect, form a beautiful layout. They create an unusual synthesis of outstanding wind and wave conditions. These make Cabarete an exceptional location not only for water-sports such as kiteboarding and windsurfing, but for regular surfing at El Encuentro beach as well. For more information, please go to www.activecabarete.com.

ACE SURFING

The days in magical Cabarete, smack in the middle of the Caribbean, are full of endless possibilities. The nights are up to you: celebrate life to the beats of vibrant music or chill to the best-mojito-ever, under the stars. ACE SURFING gives the adventurous traveler a rainbow of choices to fit what brings him personal joy and well-being. For more information, please go to www.acesurfing.com.
