Praias em Cabrera

The north coast around Cabrera holds some of the wildest, least crowded beaches in the country. Here are 1 ways to reach golden sand, hidden coves and surf breaks far from the resort crowds.

Beaches near Cabrera

Playa Grande is the headline beach, a long sweep of golden sand with consistent surf and a dramatic cliff backdrop. Nearby Playa Diamante is a calm, shallow cove that often sits empty on weekdays, and Playa Caleton offers sheltered swimming for families. Most beaches here are free to enter and rarely busy outside Dominican holidays.

Planning a beach day

Bring cash for the local fish shacks that line the sand, where fresh catch and rice come cheap. Shade is limited, so pack sunscreen and a hat. A guided day trip from Puerto Plata or Cabarete can combine two or three beaches with a cenote stop in a single outing.
