6 Things To Do In Cabrera, Dominican Republic

Cabrera is quaint little town on the eastern end of the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, located at an area called "Scottish bay" and just north of the bustling city of Santo Domingo. Cabrera is a particular place in the sense that despite its beauty, it is not a place that is generally on people's radars when they're planning on visiting the Dominican Republic. Cabrera is not a tourist heavy town and as such, you won't find things like you would if you went to Santo Domingo or Punta Cana. Cabrera is an agricultural place with cattle raising and rice farming being the main sources of income for the people of Cabrera. Another aspect that makes Cabrera particularly interesting is the fact that it is a picturesque town on the coast facing the Atlantic ocean, but is untouched by massive resort complexes. Cabrera is actually regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the country, but tourists hardly have even heard about it. It has amazing beaches, lush vegetation and amazing natural attractions. Despite the lack of resorts or hotels (although there are some) in the area, the town has several famous luxury villas that are regularly rented out to foreigners.
