Cabarete - History

Cabarete is a unique place in the Dominican Republic. This small town is already well known all over the world thanks to its ideal conditions for windsurfing. World champions from all over the World have come here. This was also the place where León Bélanger, the current representative of the Dominican Republic in the Professional Windsurfing Circuit started his career. Symbolizing one of Cabarete's characteristics, a graceful combination of Dominicans and foreigners working together to achieve the  highest goals.

Years ago, Cabarete was a hide-out place for rich Dominicans families from Santiago and the northern region who built beach cottages to visit on long weekends and holidays. More recently it has been taken over by the tourist industry and has developed a more casual international flavour, with Canadians, Germans, French, Swiss and many other nationalities mixing with the local population.
