Take the coastal road east from Sosua on the north shore. Its about a 15 minute car ride.
From the direction of Cabarete you take a right under the sign of the coconut palms resort. You drive until the end and go left. at the t-section you take a right at the sign of Hooked Caberete.
You will see the road to the beach.
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.
Locals are friendly and willing to help. There are a couple of rules to keep the nice atmosphere as it is.

fun
i recently surfed encuentro march 5-10th. it was well overhead the first day closing out. very few people out there. after the storm cleared the area it was real fun 7-10ft in the mornings before the winds picked up. still alot of closeouts but worth it. there even was a whale jumping out of the water offshore one day. kind of a rough paddle out when it was big, but the locals were nice and enthusiastic. pretty crowded but no shortage of waves, and very good atmosphere in the lineup.

I loved Encuentro
I'm a beginner and I surfed Encuentro around Christmas. It was really fun and the locals were super friendly.
