Pointe Baptiste, Toucari Bay and Carib Territory

On the north east coast, the beach at Pointe Baptiste was a real find. From our Sea Cliff cottage it was a short walk down an overgrown track to this cute beach. We were the only people on it until a local woman called Fi came by after fishing off the rocks at the point.. Had a good ole chat to her about life on the island. We swam and snorkelled in the strong current.

On the north west corner of the island is the excellent Toucari village nestled in it’s own bay. On a small cul-de-sac road with few tourists and no through traffic, this palm lined bay and beach is a real find. These are some of our favourite photos - so far!

Dominica is the location of the last Carib settlement in the West Indes. We visited the recently finished ‘model’ village and found ourselves on a private tour with a charming guide. The Caribs were recruited as extras to play the cannibals in Prates of the Caribbean.
