Surfing at Encuentro Beach

Encuentro is just 10 minutes drive from Cabarete. It is ideal for beginners as well as for those seeking a little more adventure.

It is considered the best surfing place in the Republica Dominicana.

The local surfers are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and will help you catch the waves and learn how to continue doing it.

During the best time to surf meaning mid December to mid April you’ll find many surf lessons and boat rentals available.

For that you may have to go to Cabarete downtown. Actually everything happens in the six km of beaches of Cabarete.

You’ll find here everything from surfing to kite boarding.In this beach the restaurants and bars are not so close to the beach on purpose, so the area keeps the atmosphere of plain surfing and kite boarding.

But look at this, during the evenings the restaurants put the tables on the beach to serve dinner. The Dominican Republic Food as described on our page is mouth watering.

Fresh fish brought by the fishing villagers abound in the area all kind of vegetables, plantains and yuccas to compliment your dinner.

Local beers are some of the best in the world and of course Dominican Rum is among the best of the world.
