Wavine Cyrique beach

Wavine Cyrique is the most unusual beach in Dominica, the Caribbean. This is one of the few places in the World, where a waterfall (30 m) falls from the mountains directly to the beach. Before visit, it makes sense to looks for schedule of tides, as during the high tide, the waterfall falls into the sea, and it is difficult to approach it. Usually, there is no a living soul ashore, since the place is very hard to access. The beach itself is beautiful - with palms and black sand, but not very comfortable for swimming. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Rosalie Bay Resort is the only accomodation option, located not far from the beach of Wavine Cyrique. This is a 4 star property with room's fares about US$200 per night.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Douglas–Charles airport (DOM) or fly to Canefield airport (DCF). Then take a bus or taxi to Rosalie village. Next get to the sign of Wavine Cyrique located about 500 meters to the south of Rosalie.

Walk 15 minutes along the forest trek towards the sea, and descend down the steep cliff, clinging the rope and the trees. The descent is hard, and is not recommended for children and for the old men. In addition, it makes sense to pay US$10 (per person) to a local man, who will help you on the way there and back.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a holiday on the beach of Wavine Cyrique is a dry period in the winter half of the year.
