Batibou Beach
Batibou Bay
A golden-sand beach on the north coast framed by coconut palms, with clear water. It is one of the few postcard-perfect Caribbean beaches on Dominica, and it has appeared in a Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Batibou Bay lies west of Calibishie and is reached by going down a rough dirt road to the sea. Ordinary cars should take care; walking takes about 10 minutes. The beach is crescent-shaped and flanked by green headlands. Golden sand and coconut palms form a classic Caribbean scene, and you can snorkel near the reefs close to shore. The land is privately owned and a small entrance fee is charged. A simple bar operates occasionally, but facilities are limited, so bring your own drinking water and sun protection. The Calibishie area nearby also has Red Rocks, the Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Estate and other attractions.
