The spot is very accessible. There is enough parking space for all the cars and moto's all the way to the left. There is also a small sandwichbar for simple food and coffee in the morning.
a spot to enjoy when you are a super beginner or a few days tourist. In that case you'll find nice people ready to rent you a board or sell you some class. If you plan to stay long time than have to deal with localism. The peacks are crowded and locals don't like to share waves.

Atmosphere
A lot of long time residents from abroad had problems with locals and localism and choosed to surf other spots. Dominican Republic is a very small country, so locals are not only guys surfing everyday at the spot, but people comìng here from capital and other towns just once per month: that are the worster locals.
some local criminal keep the beach under mafia control. so encuentro is just an apparently easy place.

General
a nice place to start surfing. Waves are consistent but usually small. It is always windy, so it is good to surf here early in the morning.
there are five schools at the beach, but just one is managed by professional teachers.
