Red Rocks (Pointe Baptiste)

Red Rocks, Calibishie

Red volcanic rock platforms on the Calibishie coast, sculpted by wind and rain into wavy forms that look almost otherworldly. They overlook the Atlantic and are a favorite photo spot on the north coast.

Red Rocks lies on the Pointe Baptiste headland east of Calibishie village. Iron-rich volcanic tuff, weathered and eroded by rain over a long period, has formed soft, rolling red patterns that contrast strongly with the blue sea and green vegetation. It is a few minutes' walk from the parking area, but the rock surfaces are slippery after rain, so be careful near the cliff edges. The nearby Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Estate offers tours of cacao cultivation and handmade chocolate (reservation required). Admission is free, and it can be combined with Batibou Beach and the seaside restaurants of Calibishie.
