Welcome to the Surfing in the Dominican Republic website, this website is made for people that are looking for information related to surfing on the North Coast of the DR. It covers areas like: Puerto Plata / Sosua / Cabarete / Rio San Juan.
You can find spot descriptions: how to get there, hazards and for what levels of surfers they are most suitable.
In the pictures / media section you can find more pictures of the DR surf spots and we'll also be publishing videos of the good surfing days here in the Caribbean
The FAQ section we put in since we got a bit tired of answering the same questions by emails, we'd rather be surfering than answering your questions ;-)
