Cabarete is a small beach town with a great blend of tourist amenities and Dominican culture. Cabarete features the famous Kite Beach for kiteboarding and Encuentro beach for surfing. There are also many restaurants, shops, banks and ATM cash machines. An amazing nightlife kicks in after 11:30 pm. Many beach front restaurants turn into dance clubs. The latest is Ojo where locals and tourists alike mingle.

Kite Beach in Cabarete is one of the top five kiteboarding locations in the world. The trade winds with thermals make for strong and consistent winds. The wind blows easterly, which gives Cabarete perfect side-onshore kiting conditions. Generally in the morning, there is little to no wind. This makes it a great time to stop by Encuentro for some surfing or snorkeling. Early afternoon is usually good for beginners. After 2 pm, the thermals kick in and make the wind a lot stronger, reaching its strongest around 4 to 5 pm. Cabarete’s beach also hosts an array of annual international championships. On any given day, visitors to the area will see the sky filled with hundreds of colorful kites carrying amateurs and pro riders through the surf.

Kite Beach Inn is located directly on Kite Beach. Kites can be launched off our property right on Kite Beach. We cater to kiteboarders, kitesurfers, surfers and beach vacationers.
