Its name, \u201c<strong>Cabarete Surf &amp; Wind Cit<\/strong>y\u201d, sums up quite well what the destination is known for: surf, kitesurf and windsurf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The campaign will be rolled out across several markets in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean, mainly on digital platforms and in specialized media. The idea is to give greater visibility to a part of the country that remains less visible internationally than <strong>Punta Cana<\/strong>, <strong>La Romana<\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/5-reasons-to-fall-in-love-with-santo-domingo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santo Domingo<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Cabarete: Surf &amp; Wind City\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2NSDpur2_BQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> \n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A destination well known among water sports enthusiasts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabarete-Rep-Dom-red.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246503\" style=\"width:298px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabarete-Rep-Dom-red.jpg 800w, https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabarete-Rep-Dom-red-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Cabarete-Rep-Dom-red-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cabarete is not new to the world of board and wind sports. Its name has long been known among practitioners, attracted by regular winds, waves, the proximity of several spots with different characteristics and an ecosystem developed around the activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the west, <strong>Playa Encuentro<\/strong> is one of the country\u2019s most sought-after spots. Several schools operate there, with areas suited to different levels, although conditions vary depending on the season and time of day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kite Beach<\/strong> concentrates much of the activity linked to kitesurfing. Colorful kites quickly fill the sky as soon as the wind rises, while schools and rental centers line the beach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cabarete Bay<\/strong> also welcomes windsurf and kitesurf practitioners. The winds blow for much of the year, with particularly favorable conditions between June and August. Along this relatively short stretch of coastline, it\u2019s possible to get from one spot to another in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A town organized around the sea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Cabarete, weather conditions directly influence the rhythm of the day. People check the wind, waves and forecast before deciding when to go out on the water. Boards, sails and equipment are part of the landscape, just like the small hotels, beach bars and restaurants set along the bay.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This presence of watersports has also shaped the atmosphere of the place. Schools, equipment rental operators and competitions attract practitioners from around the world, but also travelers who simply come to watch, learn or spend a few days by the sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Another image of the Dominican Republic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The north coast offers a different atmosphere, more focused on watersports. Cabarete can therefore find its place in a stay along the north coast, combined with <strong>Puerto Plata<\/strong>, with its beaches, urban heritage and large hotels, or <strong>Sos\u00faa<\/strong>, known for its bay and diving activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201c<strong>Cabarete Surf &amp; Wind City<\/strong>\u201d campaign is not trying to create a new image of the destination. It gives greater visibility to what already defines daily life there: a small town where wind and waves set the pace. For the Dominican Republic, Cabarete also offers a way to show another side of the country, sportier, younger and more active.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:74px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d86725.63042268854!2d-70.47389712904835!3d19.752388135858556!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x8eae1d6fd62fb20b%3A0x3400209e5bc29d24!2s57000%20Cabarete%2C%20R%C3%A9publique%20dominicaine!5e1!3m2!1sfr!2sco!4v1785354545267!5m2!1sfr!2sco\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photos: Mintur | DR<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dominican Republic launches \u201cCabarete Surf &#038; Wind City\u201d, a global campaign around Cabarete and active stays on the north coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":246498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16783],"tags":[42643,42639,11666,42629,42637,42638,8723,42642,11846,42646,20038,42644,42645,7555,42636,42632,42630,42631,42635,23168,42634,18809,20789,42641,13112,20041,7639,17211,42628,42640,42633],"class_list":["post-246511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-active-stays","tag-active-travel","tag-adventure-tourism","tag-cabarete-2","tag-cabarete-bay","tag-cabarete-surf-wind-city-2","tag-caribbean","tag-caribbean-surf-destination","tag-caribbean-tourism","tag-david-collado-2","tag-dominican-republic-en","tag-dominican-republic-beaches","tag-dominican-republic-ministry-of-tourism","tag-international-tourism","tag-kite-beach-2","tag-kitesurf-cabarete-2","tag-nautical-tourism","tag-north-coast-dominican-republic","tag-playa-encuentro-2","tag-puerto-plata-2","tag-sosua-2","tag-sport-tourism","tag-sports-tourism-en","tag-surf-cabarete-2","tag-tourism-campaign","tag-tourism-dominican-republic","tag-tourism-promotion","tag-tourisme-international-en","tag-watersports","tag-wellness-dominican-republic","tag-windsurf-cabarete-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246511"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246520,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246511\/revisions\/246520"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
