Batibou Beach

Wow! We came to Batibou expecting to only spend an hour here before going to a restaurant to eat. We ended up staying for 5 hours. A short drive down a rough 4x4 road allows you to park right on the beach. The clearly marked fee of $5 usd can be paid to the security people where you park. They provide a rundown of safety considerations like where to swim, and to avoid falling coconuts. Apparently it was a super busy day on Easter Sunday so we shared the beach with about 12 other people LOL. How is this beach so uncrowded? The people maintaining the beach and the women working the beach bar are all super friendly, and they do a great job maintaining the beach. Incredible beach, I'm not sure it can get much better. Clear water, great sand, shady palm trees. To top it all off, the food is good too. They cook using a coconut husk fire, which provides the ribs, fish, and pork with a great sweet Smokey flavor. It's served on wooden plates and banana leaves. They also have a good selection of drinks and rum concoctions. This was a great way to spend our last full day in Dominica.

What a place! The beach is absolutely stunning and clean. The fee is used to keep the beach as beautiful as it is. The highlight though is Irma, who cooks absolutely delicious food right on the beach and fights for the beach to stay as it is. We sincerely hope the beach doesn't get destroyed by mass tourism and keeps its natural beauty. Thank you for fighting for it!

Beautiful beach with an awesome meal ! You can access by car to the front, don’t need to park your car on the top of the hill. The access of the beach is about 13 EC per pers because is a private territory, but believe be, it worth it ! You can eat on the beach, freely with your own food or at the restaurant of the beach.

The most beautiful beach I have ever been too!!!!! The restaurant and bar were never open. It's a $5 American dollar charge per person. If you park at the top it's about a 15min walk on rocks or if your car can make it down I recommend that. They have a shower and the toilets were pretty nasty.

One of the best culinary experiences in Dominica. The Batibou beach is beautiful with few visitors especially in the morning. You have to pay a 5 US$ per person entrance fee which is used for cleaning the beach and maintenance (the area is private land). Around midday they open the grill bar where they prepare on the spot some awsome rich tasting food (be prepared for some wait preparation time). Don't miss out the homemade ice-cream!

In my opinion, this is the nicest beach on the island. It's secluded, with crystal clear clam water and a palm trees shade the beach. A few things to note. It costs $5 per person to access the road to go to the beach, you can drive down or you can walk, but you might as well drive since you have to pay regardless. Like most Caribbean island beaches at the moment, Batibou is covered in sargassum, no big deal, you just need to hop over it to get into the water. One issue though, is there is some still flowing in the water and small jellyfish like organisms do live in them so you may feel a light sting or two while you swim but its harmless and honestly, the beach is worth it.

This is just a really nice beach. When I went there was not any food there, just an attendant that would crack open a coconut for you to drink. You must walk about a mile down a dirt road or have a vehicle that can handle the drive.

This is a beautiful beach and you can drive down if you have a off road capable vehicle. It's $5 each for the day. I loved the cheeky sisters beach BBQ and cocktails. They may not rock up until after 12 but lovely mix of food with smoky baby ribs or fish is worth waiting for. Thank you ladies 😊
