One of the best beach in the world for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing and one of the most beautiful worlwide is facing the greatest danger ever. A private company tries to close the beach . This is a fact that have started just very recelnty . For those who know Cabarete in the Dominican Republic and for those who loves the above sports and travel everywhere around to just find the best waves, wind, vibes , Enquentro Beach is known for being the loved one. Because of all of the above plus the beauty and simplicity of the nature . It is important to say that these sports are a way out for the young locals to get out of the existed poverty of those places as they have the chance to become champions, get sponsorts , travel and have a better way of life. Enquentro beach is the beach where every year dozens of champions, local, american and world champ., are held with a great feed back from the cround all over the world.
The last 2 years Cabarete -northcoast of DR-one of the most beautiful and ëasy going"places in the world, a very special place, is becoming bigger and bigger with big hotes growing where it used to be dozens palm trees. Its ok , we are not against the evolution-if "evolution"" for some is made of concret..- but when this is going so far to close beaches like Enquentro that are so important for sports and people all over the world this is a CRIME!!

The surf forms well off this area and they even have competitions here. Some kiteboarders doing downwinders from Kite Beach by Cabarete Bay sometimes land in the area of Enquentro.

It is a nice place and it would be a shame to be closed out from this area.
