We love this beach! It is one of the cleaner beaches on the island. This is one of the few beaches where you can sit at a bar on the beach and have a drink! The kite surfers are fun to watch and the atmosphere is great! More

Beach is absolutely beautiful, white sand, clear water. Great restaurants along the way and some great unique shopping. Check out the Irish Pub, great time. Nice to have a massage on the beach, or if you prefer some reflexology for a great price. More

Are you kidding me? this beach doesn`t need a review. Most people want to keep it a secret, so it doesn`t get spoiled by mass tourism. Any day in Cabarete beach is a colorful display of golden sand and blue ocean, lots of kites flying around the bay. There`s a lot of nice restaurants and stores, and to some this... More
