I've seen Cabarete grow from a sleepy little town to what it is today. We visit the beach several times a year and enjoy the food options on the beach and off the beach the most.

Cabarete is a lovely beach to visit, day or night. Unlike Punta Cana, which is beautiful but overwhelmingly large resorts and tourists, or Las Tirenes, which is beautiful but has an increasing crime problem, or Sosua, which is nice to visit by day but much more for locals and not necessarily safe at night, Cabarete is a real blend of...

My group went to Caberete on a Wednesday night and had a blast! We mingle with the locals and the tourist and parties until 3 am. We had a grand time and they played a variety of music in all the different bars along the beach so there was something there for all walks of life. My only regret was... More

Perfect local family beach for long stroll, or to check out all the restaurants and bars in the evenings, with their lanterns and coloured canopies by the ocean.

We have been regular visitors to Cabarete since 1998. Alone, with a loved one, with friends and/or with kids, Cabarete is a great place to just hang out or get active. I have not visited any other place that has so much to offer off and on the water. It has a wonderful but indescribable vibe. We actually packed up... More

Beautiful beach with shallow, crystal clear waters and trendy restaurants. About 10-15 minutes from Sosua.

Went here for a scuba dive trip. Thankfully i spent most of the visit underwater. There were wild dogs roaming and the beach itself not the most fantastic. Setting and water beautiful shame about the beach itself.

I like Cabarete for the beach primarily. I have been to DR beaches on the south coast (Boca Chica and Juan Dolio), the east (Bavaro) and the north (Costambar, Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete and Las Terranas) - my favorite all around is Cabarete. It isn't the most scenic (Las Terrenas is) or liveliest (Sosua or Bavaro are) but for sporting... More
