Cabarete made the Sunday New York Times (12 December 2004) after being discovered by journalist Judy Tong who tells that while Europeans and Canadians have known about the north coast beach town for many years, only now have Americans begun to hear about Cabarete. ?The town of Cabarete?s atmosphere is all about a laid-back, tropical lifestyle revolving around sports, resting and partying,? she writes while describing Cabarete. She acknowledges the draw has been the kiteboard and windsurfing conditions that are suited for beginners and experts and the sporting events such as the Cabarete Kiteboarding World Cup and the Red Bull Masters of the Ocean events. But she also highlights there are many adventure tours to be taken in the environs. She also focuses on how easy it is to get around in Cabarete with taxi motorcycles and guaguas readily available for cheap. She has praise for the gastronomy of Cabarete that ranges from ?a full restaurant dinner eaten while curling your toes in the sand on the beach,? to the coconut bought from ?the women strolling the beach balancing a bowl of fruit on her head.?
