Dominica - all beaches

The beach at Mero has experienced notable changes as a result of hurricanes and the disappearance of the jetty and nearby hotel. Additionally, the beach features gray sand.

The food at the beach was delicious, but the service was quite laid-back. We had to call the server over a few times, but she was friendly and helpful when she was with us. Unfortunately, they were out of a few items I wanted to order, and it turned out the food truck didn't make the delivery. Despite these minor issues, I plan on returning to the beach. It's important to keep in mind that the concept of time here is different from what we're used to in the US. We tend to be in a rush, but sometimes it's good to take it easy and slow down.

There is a fantastic beach bar and restaurant located next to the Indian River in Portsmouth, Dominica. The space is large with open air and sea breezes, offering beautiful views. The food and service are top-notch, with Cherry and her staff always providing a friendly smile. They have a full bar with cold beers and great music. The location is convenient, near the mini-van station for affordable transportation to Roseau and Calibishie. Additionally, they offer free WiFi. Be sure to visit and mention that David from New Orleans recommended it!

My husband and I stayed at Pagua Bay House for 5 days. The only reason we didn't stay longer was because Pagua Bay House was fully booked and we couldn't extend our stay. From the moment Sheldon, the manager, picked us up at the airport until the morning we left on 2/6, it was an absolutely delightful experience. Everyone at Pagua Bay House, including the owners Alicia and Rick, the manager Sheldon, the restaurant servers Vernel, Kimmy, Lauren, and the chef Lisa, as well as the housekeeper, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel completely welcome and comfortable. The location of Pagua Bay House was perfect for us, just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the screened windows allowed us to listen to the soothing sound of the ocean all night long, like a lullaby. Every morning, Alicia was available during breakfast to assist us in planning our daily activities. She helped us find drivers as we didn't feel confident enough to drive in Dominica, considering the UK-style driving and narrow, winding roads with potholes. Alicia also made reservations for us at restaurants that we loved and were conveniently located for our day's activities. She even organized cost-sharing for drivers with other guests who had similar preferences. All the drivers she arranged for us, Reggie, Jeremy, and Elvis, were warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Alicia also arranged for a small group of three guests, including us, to attend the opening of Marigot's Carnival on February 4th at 5:00 AM. It was an incredible and joyful experience for everyone. Despite being outsiders, we felt completely welcomed and safe during the festivities. We danced continuously with the locals until 11:00 AM, which was a highlight of our amazing experiences in Dominica. The Pagua Bay restaurant is situated beautifully on a hill with a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean. The food was excellent, and the servers were charming. Words cannot express how much we enjoyed our time at Pagua Bay House. We are already planning to return next year.

We only had dinner at that beach, but it was definitely one of the best on Dominica! They serve delicious lobster, octopus, pasta, and great wine. It's a lovely spot to enjoy a meal, drinks, and the evening. I highly recommend it!

A great spot to spend time with loved ones, the beach boasts brown sand that adds to its charm.
