Oceanfront property in cabarete
Not enough information given. Cabrete is very long going from just east of the border of Sosua to the La Boca area including places like Sea Horse Ranch, Perla Marina, businesses in Cabarete Center, etc. So please be more specific with your location and someone might have an idea.
I didn't mean to hit 'dislike' on the post above...sorry! Blame it on the ipad!
What size parcel are you looking at?

Yes indeed, there are set back issues for constructing near the ocean. Are they ignored and/or overcome? Yes and frequently, but if you are "connected" properly.
Maybe you should read this FIRST before buying: <!-- title / author block -->[h=3]Criminals inside the legal system protected by the law!!!!![/h]
If you want to construct: consider risk of hurricans
Last Hurrican that damaged the north coast was "David" in 1978.
It devested parts of Nagua and there were damages in Puerto Plata according to the elderly in Sabaneta de Yasica.
Cabarete simply did not exist in 1978.
I do not know what can happen to Cabarete, but if you remember the TV pictures of Katrine one can imagine.
All buildings of Cabarete coud be damaged / washed away.
A few thousand people in "La Cienega" near Cabarete are in danger, because water could enter fast from the lagune side connected with Rio Yasica and very fast from the sea side with no way to escape, land is only about 2 m above sea level there.
Sea level could rise a few meters in a Hurricane.
Costa Azul will be flooded.
Ask people in Juan Dolio about the damages of the last Hurricane there, I think it was 1995.
Question is not if there will be another "David", only when.

It is rather unlikely that a hurricane will hit Cabarete. This has been discussed many times on this forum. Possible? Yes. Likely not at all. The south and east coasts of the island are much more likely to be hit by hurricanes because of the normal path of such storms.
Correct it would be very unusual for a storm to re-curve to the South and hit the North coast because of the latitude we are at take a look at this link showing the likely paths of storms 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season but nothing is impossible with regards to the weather. I have worked at sea for over twenty years and the weather is changing and becoming more extreme.
Very unlikly? David was in 1978 (34 years ago)
David was in 1978, which is 34 years ago.
Chance is rare in comparison to many other coast regions, but again: question is not "if", only "when".
Hopefully there will be none the next 100 years.
Tsunamis: there were 2 minor waves in this area around 1993 from the Tsunami that hit Chile.
Some people told me that sea water entered once in todays entrance of "La Cienega". Only possibility for me that is were those waves.
I would recommend places in "Coconut Palm" area, which is elevated and ocean view is fantastic from there.
