Mero Beach

The most popular beach on the west coast. Fine dark gray sand formed from volcanic material stretches for about 1 km, the sea is calm, and beach bars and grilled-fish stands line the shore.

Mero lies on the west coast about 20 km north of Roseau. Its wide bay has small waves, making it the favorite spot for locals to swim and gather on weekends, and cruise passengers often make a special trip here. The beach is typical volcanic black sand and gets very hot in the sun, so wear flip-flops. Along the shore are several beach bars and restaurants serving grilled fish, fried plantains and local rum punch, and loungers can be rented. Entry is free, and you can reach it by minibus heading along the west coast. In the evening you can watch the sun sink into the Caribbean Sea.
