Located between the more heavily populated cities of Sosúa and Cabarete this popular surfing beach is accessible to the public via dirt roads.
Encuentro Beach consists of five distinctive breaks:[1] Coco Pipe is a serious, powerful and hollow reefbreak which favors high tide and North or Northwest swell.
This was first surfed by Bam Rossiter, who managed to ride a 589 ft wave fakie.
La Derecha, meaning "the right", is the North Coast's most consistent surf spot.
It is also very consistent with something to ride almost every day, although the wave tends to close out at heights over 12 feet (3.7 meters).
