Things To Do in Cabarete: Day Trip to Playa Grande

As you arrive at Playa Grande, you'll be welcomed by a breathtaking stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear waters. This beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere and pristine beauty, making it a perfect escape and a different experience right outside Cabarete.

Crystal Clear Waves

The crystal clear waves at Playa Grande are truly remarkable and a beach highlight. Some people like to surf on the right corner of Playa Grande, but most visitors come to have some fun in the water. Rest assured that this beach offers something for everyone.

If your kids or grandkids are with you, you can rent a board from one of the local surf shops and catch some waves or admire the beauty of the ocean from the shore. The waves are perfect for all skill levels, making it an excellent spot for families to enjoy.

After a day of surfing, you can relax under the shade of the tall palm trees and indulge in some delicious local cuisine from friendly vendors.

Beachside Dream

If you're not interested in surfing, don't worry! Playa Grande is equally perfect for lounging and soaking up the sun. Lay out your towel, relax with a good book, and let the sound of the waves sing you a song. Remember to take a refreshing dip in the ocean and drink a lot of water to stay hydrated.

Exploring Playa Preciosa

For the more adventurous souls, Playa Grande is also home to another fascinating beach waiting to be explored (when you park, go to the right side). Here, the sea is a little more wavy, and it is not recommended to swim at all times. You can take a walk and explore the wild side of Playa Grande. 

Picnic Paradise and Fresh Fried Fish

Every day trip is complete with a delicious picnic on the beach. Order delicious fresh food at an on-site restaurant, serving fresh fruit, like coconuts and pineapples, fried fish, rice and beans, avocado salads, and ice-cold Presidente beers. Find a shady spot under a palm tree and savor the flavors of the Dominican Republic while enjoying the ocean breeze.

One Big Sunset

As the day comes to a close, get ready to be amazed by one of the most spectacular sunsets you'll ever see. Find a prime spot on the beach, camera in hand, and watch as the sky transforms into a live painting of vibrant colors. It's a moment you'll never forget.

Heading Back to Cabarete

After a tasty beachfront lunch and some good tanning, it's time to say goodbye to Playa Grande and head back to Cabarete - ideally around 4/5 PM before the sun sets. Reflect on the day's adventures as you journey home, knowing that you've experienced a slice of paradise that few are lucky enough to discover.

So there you have it, friends - a day trip to Playa Grande that is sure to leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you're chasing waves, exploring nature, or simply soaking up the sun, this hidden gem offers endless opportunities for both adventure and relaxation. Until next time, happy exploring!
