Las Terrenas VS Cabarete 🇩🇴 Which Location is Better? Dominican Republic Travel & Living

In this week's visiting we're comparing two of the most popular places on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, it's Cabarete versus Las Terrenas.
We get asked which one we like better all the time, so we made a video about it. Throughout the video we go through a whole bunch of categories and compare Las Terrenas and Cabarete.
Some of the categories include:
Location, Accommodations, Beaches, Restaurants, culture and vibe and so many others.
If you're wondering whether you should choose Las Terrenas or Cabarete for an upcoming visit to Dominican Republic, this video should help you decide which one is better for you.

Guys you really have to visit bahia de las aguilas in the south

[@FelipeFermin]

Apart from Bahia de las Aguilas, which you should definitely mark as one of your next destinations, there’s also a few others spots that might actually top Las Terrenas (which is pretty hard, IMO): 1) Miches (which is poised to explode as the new main tourism destination, considering the investments that are being made from mega corporations). Over there, look for playa Esmeralda, playa Costa Esmeralda, and playa El Limón. 2) Playa La Ensenada and Punta Rucia which are located west from Cabarete / Puerto Plata. From Punta Rucia you can take a quick boat to Cayo Arena, which is a sand bank that makes you wish you didn’t forget your snorkeling gear. 3) And going far more northwest, you can find Playa Buen Hombre (best kept secret of kitesurfers) and even farther you’ll find Montecristi, specifically Playa Juan de Bolaños. You should make those 4 your next destinations. Also, while in Las Terrenas, check for the hidden gems that you can find in Las Galeras, such as Playa Madama.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

@@FelipeFermin We've been to a couple of those locations already and have a full video on Punta Rucia / Cayo Arena. Check the channel! :)

I am a Dominican watching and loving your videos from the USA. What I love the most is how you present our greatness and shortcomings with a lot of respect. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Wow, thank you!

[@FelipeFermin]

Las Terrenas becomes extremely crowded starting “Holy Wednesday” (starting April 13th this year). Usually lots and lots of people from Santo Domingo prefer spending the Easter Vacation over there. Just letting you guys know, so you don’t get scared seeing so much people when it is usually not crowded at all in Las Terrenas. That is why when I go over with my family, We try to avoid those days and just spend a few days BEFORE Wednesday / Thursday. If I see you next week, I’ll definitely say hello. Love your content, by the way.

This was exactly the video I was looking for because I was trying to decide between the two locales for possible property myself and you addressed pretty much everything down to even the size of the waves which is a consideration for me. I love big waves and wind so it's Cabarete for me! Thanks so much for your continued upbeat and informative content❤️😊 congrats on 100k!

[@marcusboehm2421]

Thank you for such a great honest reflection on Cabarete , the north shore and the magic island and its people. Living here greatfull since 32 years doing watersports, i can only confirm your passion and love ❤ for Dominican Republic and its people.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

This place has completely swept us off our feet Marcus. The north coast is one of our favourite places on the planet 😀 Thanks for watching - Trevor

[@kenandcoreen7179]

This video was so well done, and very informative. I can see that choosing where to stay would not be an easy one for us. The beaches in Las Terrenas really are gorgeous. I love being able to swim in the ocean, and would be out there forever. Also love the European vibe. BUT, I also love how Cabarete is so walkable. We also enjoy getting to know locals, and seems like that would be more likely in Cabarete. Dining with our feet in the sand - BONUS! You've given us a lot to think about should we ever make it to the DR. I'm thinking a couple weeks in each would be the best way to go! Thanks for a great watch! - Coreen

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Pros and Cons to each right? 🤗 The good news is they are both just 3 hours from each other - Anna

[@LesvoyagesdeBD]

Very nice video 👍. It's a beautiful island 🤩🤩

[@pilsatortube]

Congratz on the 100K :) well deserved! For me its a 10:0 win for Las Terrenas ;) nothing beats the beaches and lush tropical nature and natural Palm Trees everywhere! Plus the Quad lifestyle is a dream to be experienced... on an work related note: Las Terrenas will get Star Link by next year latest. Which will give it great internet.

[@worldnomaderic]

Great video. My wife and I spent last Spring/Summer in Cabarete and visited Las Terrenas for 2 weeks. We are in Cab. again for this Spring/Summer. I can say this video is very accurate. If we were not big kiters, I'd give the edge to Las Terrenas. Much prettier beaches and great vibe, but you can't beat the wind in Cabarete! It truly is a great country. If you go, don't be afraid to get out of town and see the mountains, get to know the people and help keep the beaches clean by picking up trash when you can, especially your own :)

[@lauraarteaga1451]

Wonderful recommendations. Thanks a bunch.

[@joeo8820]

Thanks for answering my question a month ago about the best spot for Kite Surfing. I did go to Kite Beach for Kite surfing lessons and partied in Cabarete for 2 weeks. Ate local and treated my Kite instructor and staffs with bottle service at Ojo nightclub on weekends. I had a great time and I’m looking forward to returning for 3 weeks in December. Thanks again.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Sounds like you had a great time Joe. Cabarete is pretty great right? 🤙 - Trevor

[@CCGarland]

Cabarete wins for me. My 3 "W"s are: Warm, Walkable, and Water. I stayed in Sosúa for a month and a half a few years back and it was a great experience. I stayed in Casa Linda. My only issue was that right outside of Casa Linda, it wasn't very walkable. It would've been nice to have some sidewalks in the community and on the outside that connects to the beach. This may be in the works, but right now it appears that Cabarete is more developed in this area. Great overview! Thank you.

First of all, love the videos and it was a amazing to see you walk into the restaurant that my girlfriend and I were eating at in Las Terrenas. My only quibble about your location rating between Las Terrenas VS Cabarete is that location maybe should be called ease to get to or accessibility

Buying a property in Cabarete because it has more to offer but to be honest I dont like the beaches there. I LOVEEEEEE the beaches in Las Terrenas, the color of the water, the sand, how calm it is. I can go in the water with my floating and just relax for 1hr while having a drink on my hand. In Cabarete's beaches you have to wrestle with the waves to get in and out.

Cabarete has issues with police corruption, drugs, prostitution. Overall Las Terrenas feel safer to me.

[@lorikoenig6111]

You definitely nailed this video. I have to say I only disagreed with you on 3 categories. The restaurant’s in Cabarete or much more diverse, better food and much cheaper. Here in Las Terrenas the Restaurants are basically all the same Pizza ,Pastas and Fish. Caberate has every type of Restaurant and the food is much better and cheaper. The other category’s I disagreed with is the vibe and activities People are much more friendly in Cabarete and downtown has much more entertainment. Cabarete has surfing,kiting ,a sailing club Paddle Boarding club.Swimming at kite beach and downtown. You can comfortably walk for miles on a flat beach. You can go tubing on the river and 15 minutes away in Sosua there is a Monkey Jungle ,scuba diving and many more Restaurants. You can also experience the Blue moon Restaurant and Wilson’s Cabarete also has a great Gym,Pool hall and Sports bar. I lived in Cabarete for 3 years. I absolutely loved it. I have been living in Las Terrenas for a year now and the only thing I find better are the beaches.🤷‍♀️

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Glad you liked the video but we said the restaurants are more diverse and people are more friendly in cabarete. Maybe you missed that? 😀

[@lorikoenig6111]

@@DelightfulTravellers I was sure you had the Restaurant category tied and the vibe and activities better in Las Terrenas. Maybe I missed that! Great video!

[@wilsonjp23]

I agree with you. However, the beaches are not just better, they are night and day. And once you start venturing out beyond the boundaries of las Terrenas and explore the rest of Samana, it's a whole different ball game. The peninsula of Samana (and its neighboring small islands) have so many paradisaic beaches that It would take you at least a few months to explore all of them . Every time you find a new one you say to yourself that that is it, this has to be the best one. Yet, after turning around the corner (either via driving, hiking, or boating) the next one presents itself and it is just as, or more, beautiful than the previous one. So I'd say that if your priority is having access to beautiful and exotic beaches, Las Terrenas is going to be hard to beat for most of the world.

[@karenking5481]

Great info,thank you. We are from Canada also and We are going to Las Terenass for a month next winter. I have one question, you mentioned water outages. Can you drink the water there or should we buy bottled water?

Awesome video as always Trevor and Anna! Quick question about driving around the island. Is it safe to travel by rental car from Santo Domingo to Cabarete? We’ve heard driving on the island is pretty intense.

Driving from Punta Cana to Las Tarrenas in a rental car was a challenge for us...got held up by some “police.” Google translate helped us know we needed to pay them 50 bucks to get out of our situation. It was also a challenge to drive with gps. It took the better part of 6 hours to get there. Once we got there, I LOVED the place. Playa Bonita is AMAZING.

How is the sargassum? We were in punta cana in November and couldn't get in the ocean the entire week.

What's life like as an alternative for older folks who aren't big beach types? What does it mean to have backup water?

Have you been to Las Galeras? Our fave landfall in the DR. Hard to get to. Not much going on. Just the way we like it.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Yes we have... there's videos on our channel on LG - Anna
