"Geothermal springs on the ocean floor release curtains of bubbles at one of the world’s most famous and unusual dive sites. Shallow enough for snorkelers and folks new to scuba, this spectacular reef has lavish sea life, from sponges to parrotfish to hawksbill turtles. Book a guided tour of this extinct volcanic crater or pay a small marine reserve entrance fee at the site’s excellent dive shop."

The reef is OK to visit, cost us 10euros per person return in a taxi from the harbour. Take your own snorkel gear and it's just the cost of the entry to get in. The beach is very stoney. Once in the water swim to the left and see the coral around the big rock. Benches and a small shop onsite, a few changing cubicles and plenty of people to take you diving or rent you gear.

Really special place, not just the bubbles, but also a lot of special marine lifes here, I saw at least five small rays on the sandy seabed and some Sea slugs that I've never see before ( I dive and snorkel quite a lot). Many fish, huge group of bluestripe snapper, my friend saw a huge sea turtle , although no beautiful corals, but I can still snorkel here for whole day by seeing the bubbles and creatures underwater 🫧 🫧 🫧.

Beautiful beach and gentle shore dive/snorkle. Easy shore access to the famed bubble reef caused by the dormant volcano. Lots of marine life typical of the Carribean. Drinks, snacks, and gear/guides available. Park on the shoulder of the road and walk down the old concrete steps to get to the beach. Awesome place! 5 ECD access fee per person.

For snorkeling it's remarkable place. If you are coming by car, parking is arranged along the main road. Once you find the beach, reefs for snorkeling are all along the southern part (left if you are facing the sea). You can spend there hours. I was there roughly 2 hours before sunset and the beach was almost empty. I highly recommend shoes for swimming/diving because the stone really painful to walk on.

Rocky beach 15 min drive from Roseau known for bubbling water. $EC entrance fee. Small bar and limited food options.. Rocky shore means water shoes would be beneficial. Easy snorkeling off beach, but to see the bubbling water you need to swim further out.

Magnificent for snorkeling and swimming. It is not about the beach but the reef! Impressive! Roundtrip from port: USD 25 p.P., access USD 2, snorkeling gear USD 10, snorkeling guide USD 10, drinks, USD 3.

Highly recommend this place. The name champagne came from the phenomenon that tiny bubbles comes out from the bottom of the seat, which was cool to see that! Also the fish between the two sea rock has beautiful reefs and fish. If you don’t have snorkeling gears, no problem , It’s only 15 ec to rent, or shall I say donation to make. The rock beach reminds me of French Riviera’s rock beach, except here the rocks are bigger.

Bring decent footwear or water shoes as the "bubbles" are best viewed at the far end of the beach and you'll be walking over rocks. When looking down the beach with water on your right hand side there is a rather large tree/log on a rock outcrop. That's where we used for an entry point, and you cant miss the bubbles. If your not sure just ask the local beach attendants and they'll be happy to point out the "best spots" But don't just stick to the bubbles. You will not find any coral in the warm bubbly area. You need to continue south or deeper for coral. Keep your eyes open and you'll see a smorgasbord of marine life! Please don't touch or stand on the reef, and use reef safe sunscreen so hopefully future generations can enjoy too.
