Police Station is located in east Cabarete, just across from the local police station. It’s a spot that attracts surfers looking for a decent wave without the hustle and bustle of more crowded areas. The environment here is pretty chill, but be prepared for the occasional crowd, especially on good days.
The surf here works best with an east swell, but you can also catch decent waves with north swells. It handles swell sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter) quite well, breaking over an uneven reef and sand. You can expect both left and right waves, making it a suitable spot for beginners looking to practice. Wind from the southwest tends to create better conditions, and you can enjoy surfing here at low, mid, or high tide.
Overall, Police Station is a consistent spot where you can enjoy a variety of waves. It’s a great place for newcomers to gain some experience, while also providing enough action to keep things interesting for more seasoned surfers.
