Cabarete Beach, Sand beach in Sosúa, Dominican Republic
This Caribbean beach extends along the northern coast with golden sand and consistent trade winds that sweep across the shoreline throughout the year.
The beach area was established in 1835 when merchant Zephaniah Kingsley founded a settlement with 53 freed slaves as part of his Mayorasgo de Koka estate.
Local restaurants serve fresh seafood dishes while musicians perform merengue music, reflecting Dominican Republic's coastal traditions and heritage.
Multiple kiteboarding schools provide equipment rentals and lessons for beginners, with morning sessions offering the most favorable wind conditions.
The beach contains three distinct zones: Kite Beach for kiteboarding, the central area for swimming, and Encuentro section for surfing.
