Cabarete

Cabarete is a city in Dominican Republic. It is the city of kitesurfing and windsurfing and considered one of the best places to practice this sports in the Caribbean. Also has a great beach and this has a lot of great bars and restaurants.




he town centre of Cabarete consists of a main road of about 800 meters (0.5 mile), so walking is fine. During the day a 'motoconcho' (a simple motorbike with a driver) is cheap and fast (flat fee of RD$25 between any two destinations in town; RD$30 if you're going from one extreme end of town to the other). At night it's best to walk as many of the motoconcho drivers like to have a beer or ten.
You can walk the beach or you can walk the main street. Use common sense like not walking alone at night.
Public transportation comes in two forms: Sedans called "Publicos" and mini-vans called "Guaguas". You can flag down either from anywhere on the side of the road, pile in together with the locals, and hop out wherever you like. Publico is 20 pesos per person in the day and 40 at night, Guaguas are 10 pesos per person and only operate during the day.
