Kitesurfing in Cabarete happens on Kite Beach, 2.5 km west of town: the dedicated kiters' beach where the Zen Cabarete hotel (ex-eXtreme) sits right on the sand with the GoKite school in front. Calm mornings for lessons, a thermal that builds like clockwork after midday, semi-flat water inside the reef and waves on it — and a town with restaurants and a nightlife for whoever is not riding.

The Kitesurf Camp verdict The rhythm sells it: glassy mornings for lessons and family swimming, then the thermal switches on after lunch and the bay fills with kites. Sleep on Kite Beach and you never miss the window. Watch the reef ~200 m out (urchins) and let the schools show you the beginner corner.
