ESPAÑOL
Cabarete, located on the Dominican Republic’s Northern shores, is a vibrant, laid-back beach town with no shortage of things to do. Between exploring beaches and touring eateries, there are ample activities for families, couples, and retirees. Here are Casa Linda’s top picks for the best things to do in Cabarete, perfect for first-time visitors!
Experience a Culinary Oasis
While the Dominican Republic doesn’t have an official national dish, if it did, La Bandera would take the crown. This fragrant dish consists of seasoned, stewed meat on top of a bed of warm white rice alongside sweet and peppery kidney beans. Crispy fried plantains and a side salad complete the dish. Translated as ‘The Flag,’ La Bandera perfectly represents Dominican cuisine—no-frills yet undeniably wholesome and utterly delicious. This dish encapsulates the vibrant, humble, and hardworking Dominican culture in every bite.
Castaways Clubhouse and Eatery is Casa Linda’s premier restaurant and meeting spot. We have something for everyone, including snacks, meals, refreshments, and more! With an extensive menu featuring global flavours, such as Churrasco, Red Snapper, and Shrimp Ceviche, you’ll be whisked away to new dimensions of tropical flavours!
Visit the Cabarete Beach
If you’re looking for what to do in Cabarete, look no further than the world-class beaches around you! Cabarete Beach is only a 20-minute drive from Casa Linda, with almost three miles of sweeping shoreline. Take off your sandals and feel the sand beneath your feet as you stroll the shore, letting the sun warm your skin. As it turns to evening, experience Cabarete Beach’s vibrant nightlife! Highlighted by its numerous open-air bars and twinkling lights, newcomers will fall in love with the diversity of Cabarete Beach.
Casa Linda is centrally located to many of the Dominican Republic’s most popular beaches, within driving distance to Cabarete Beach, Sosúa Beach, and Encuentro Beach.

Watersports Lessons
Cabarete is world-renowned for its watersports scene. Walk down any beach shore, and you’ll find all kinds of watersports enthusiasts cruising currents, catching air, and gliding through the crystal-clear blue waters. But why spend all day watching when you can try it yourself? If you’re wanting the full wave-shredding experience, give kiteboarding a try! Kiteboarding is Cabarete’s most popular watersport and is one of the best things to do here! Glide through the water as you’re pulled by your soaring kite, reaching thrilling speeds!
For a more relaxed activity, give stand-up paddleboarding a try! Don’t let this leisurely watersport deceive you—it’s still a fantastic, low-impact workout as you stand on your board and navigate through calm, tranquil waters. Other calming watersports perfect for beginners include snorkelling and kayaking.
