Welcome to the wild side of the Dominican Republic – as in pristine, adventurous and fun. The northeastern Dominican Republic, less developed than its more popular neighbor to the south, has earned a reputation as the adventure capital of the Caribbean with hikers, rock climbers and scuba divers.
Wind surfers and kite boarders flock to Cabarete for the steady breezes that blow by day and the bars and discos that bump all night. Down the coast, the quiet town of Cabrera has attracted attention for two reasons. First, Robert Jones designed an 18-hole golf course that borders some rugged cliffs along the coast. Then, Condé Nast Traveler magazine named the local beach, Playa Grande, one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world for its powdery white sand. Northeastern Dominican Republic vacation rentals tend to be off the radar – for now. This area won’t be a secret for long.
