Debbie's Dominican Travel is the most comprehensive D.R. site online, with hundreds of user-submitted hotel and restaurant reviews and forums where travelers can post questions.

Go Dominican Republic, the site run by the island’s tourism board, has an interactive map and good basic information about north-coast beaches, activities, and tour operators.

Cabarete Kiteboarding and Cabarete Windsurfing are the online headquarters for these water-sports communities; they have maps of the bay’s best boarding spots, frequently updated wind and weather reports, and wave-jumping video galleries.
