Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Scotts Head Beach (Saint Mark Parish) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Scotts Head Beach (Saint Mark Parish) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Scotts Head Beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach is decent, however, the snorkeling and the wildlife are outstanding. There are opportunities to see wildlife like sea turtles, squid, octopus, large schools of fish, eels, etc. all along the shore and out a bit deeper in the water. The area is clean as well. Recommend for snorkeling/diving

A very nice view from the overlooking platform, seas with different colors, and the west shoreline of southern Dominica.

A truly spectacular place. Go on a weekday in the late afternoon and you may even have it all to yourself. Great views of the mountains and coastlines. Really nice snorkeling as well if you go out far enough. A must visit in Dominica.
