The beaches on Dominica are dark volcanic sand and the best ones are found at the secluded bays and near the island's rivers.
River swimming is a favored sport on Dominica.
We found the Layou River to be the best one. Wall dives and night dives. Soufriere Bay offers an unusual experience as the water is tempered with volcanic steam. Snorkeling Good snorkeling at Picard Beach, Hampstead , and L'Anse Noir beaches. Motorboats are very popular and rentals can be scheduled through the above.
