Not just surfing Dominican Republic

I guess one of the most outstanding things about the last 3 weeks has been people’s reaction to Cabarete.  For those who have not visited this town before and are just embarking on a surf trip and not much else, they are understandably amazed at what a great town Cabarete is.

For those who have surfed in Costa Rica, for example and had 4 hour post ‘plane transfers to find themselves in the middle of nowhere – facing good waves, yes, but otherwise nothing more, they are blown away by the fact that Cabarete has good surf AND so much to do and see afterwards.

Nick, one of our guests exclaimed, ”I can’t believe I didn’t know about the Dominican Republic before, but at least I have found it in November, giving me a chance to return again this winter”.   The surf is good here, sometimes it is fantastic, always fun – but it’s the town that gets people again and again.  We are starting to refer to the phenomenon as the ‘first day fall’ , meaning that however good the intentions of staying sober, that first night out on the town, where the atmosphere on the beach could well be unique, is resulting in most of our guests spending their first full day sleeping off the night before.
