Cabarete Bay has hosted professional kitesurfing events, giving the waterfront a strong wind-sport identity. Playa Encuentro, west of town, is associated with surfing instead. Watching the activity from shore can be as useful as taking a lesson if the conditions are beyond your ability. Cabarete also has a distinctive founding history linked to Zephaniah and Anna Kingsley and people freed from their Florida plantations in the 1830s.
What to look for
Kitesurfing activity is centered on Cabarete Bay.
Playa Encuentro, west of town, is a separate surf setting.
Useful to know
Match a lesson or water session to the day's wind and surf conditions.
Go to Playa Encuentro for the surf scene rather than assuming it is the same stretch as Cabarete Bay.
