Should be no issue. I think it's significantly more open than the one at Seawinds where you have to land your kite between palm trees. But I haven't been to Cabarete since before the pandemic so not sure if anything has changed.

At the moment there is good and wide beach at Nanny estates, so no problem.

There's a decent amount of beach at Nanny's at this time of year ... however, there's generally a significant amount of shore break in that part of the bay, so that may be somewhat challenging for an "entry level" kiter.

Just outside of Nanny’s isn’t so bad. I learned to kite in Cabarete from the school outside of Millennium. Break is much worse down there so in the beginning we always walked over to that patch outside of Nanny’s upwind from UItravioleta.
Biggest problem is all the Russian kiters staying at Ultravioleta. They don’t always care that much if you are a beginner or not
