Playa Encuentro
Cabarete, Dominican Republic19.782° -70.447°
Levels 2-6Typical size: 2–10 ft
The Dominican Republic's premier surf beach — a cluster of reef and sand peaks a few km west of Cabarete, from the gentle sandy beginner zone (Bobo's / La Playita) to punchy reef breaks like Coco Pipe, La Izquierda and Destroyer. Warm water, rideable waves most mornings, best on winter North Atlantic swells, and the densest concentration of surf schools in the Caribbean.
