Cabarete Dominican Republic
Cabarete Dominican Republic
New Year in Cabarete Dominican Republic is something to behold. I did it a few years ago and had a fantastic time. It is famous for it`s nightlife with a great choice of restaurants, bars, discos and a casino.
If you can imagine a scene such as the photo [right] thronging with good natured people having a great time on New Year`s Eve, that was it!

Unforgettable!
It reminded me more of a mediteranean holiday, perhaps somewhere like a Greek Island. Instead of the all-inclusive facilities, with their private beaches, you gained more of a feel of an informal Dominican holiday destination.[cont below left]

Cabarete is a small Caribbean beach village on the northern coastline of the Dominican Republic. Due to its size, you can get around by foot. Everything is close by if you are staying in the town.
If you are located slightly out of town some resorts provide a shuttle service.
The bay is formed by a barrier coral reef and is a
popular destination for surfers and divers.
The village of Cabarete is spread out across the center of a semi-circular beach of golden, sun-soaked, sand. Just behind, is a tranquil lagoon.
It is located approximately 20 km east of Puerto Plata [about 20 minutes drive] International Airport.
It is also mere 15-minute drive east from Sosua.

It is an excellent location for the young traveler seeking fun, sun and sport although there really is something for everyone. If you also want the beach holiday, taking in a few bars in the evening, this will suit you.
This location is a favorite summer resort for locals as well as tourists.
The younger visitors come to enjoy its strong surf, beautiful sea and watersports.
This part of the Dominican Republic is blessed with very special natural features which lend themselves to world class watersports.
The trade winds blows at speeds from 15 to 25 knots coming from the Atlantic.
