Cabarete Beach Village

On the malecon in Puerto Plata. A large city 23 miles from Cabarete beach. Another of our favorite day or overnight destinations. The malecon always had lots of food vendors and music...Fun!

We liked to get a room at a little sleazy place right on the end of the malecon, $11 a night. It had good secure parking for our motorcycle and we were within walking distance from all the action.

Our favorite place for breakfast in Puerto Plata was Sam's. We could always count on meeting someone interesting there!

New Wave, an open air bar on the beach in Cabarete. We met people from all over the world here and made many good friends.

Dominican kids playing baseball on the beach. They used a palm branch for the bat, a bottle cap from a big jug for the ball and a piece of cardboard with a slit in it for the catchers mitt.

Encuentro, This is the wave surfing beach about 2 miles out of town from Cabarete. Every year there is a freestyle windsurfing competition here. A lot of fun, with live music and food on the beach.

Encuentro beach compition with some good friends we meet who are from Canada. Very interesting and fun people, I could fill chapters.
