We did some of the best dives of our life ther amazing under water with coral cliffs and pinnacles that are more beautiful than in magazines and fabulous over water with charming villages under luxuriant forests... the bonus is that the place is relatively protected from the cruise crowds invasions.

Steeply sloping pinnacles and a cluster of coral and marine life make this a great dive.

Absolutely perfect place! When I look at our week long trip to Dominica I think this might have been actually my favorite stop! The drive to Scotts Head Villa from anywhere on the island isn't easy but absolutely worth the effort! We drove from Piccard/Portsmouth and stopped on the way in Roseau , to visit the Botanical Gardens and hike Morne Bruce, so the drive up to this point was normal/fairly easy. However, once you get out of Roseau there are stretches where the road gets very hilly and curvy - do you use your horn as much as you feel comfortable - that's basically the only thing that prevents you from hitting a truck or a shuttle - who drive in my opinion wayyyy to comfortably considering the opposite direction traffic on Dominica :) Once you are back on the sea level it's easy and flat - that's where you will arrive also to Scotts Head. Once it the village grab a bite at any of the local place (we did at Chez Wen and would recommend it) as most likely you spent some time getting here and trust me once at the Pinnacles you will want to spend even more :) so MANDATORY LUNCH BREAK and to settle down is a must I say :) the views are really pretty already on the sea level, trust me! Drive up to the Scott's Head Cannons; the little strip of land is covered in stones so drive slowly but once that is passed the drive up the hill is fairly easy on gear 1 or 2 at most :) the cement trails narrow down as you go up so be careful not to scratch your wheels - it's perfectly fine to drive up if you ever wondered (I did and was hesitant whether that's a smart thing to do before we went but I assure you it's perfectly fine and also recommended so you have more time up the hill to absorb the views) The views are unparalleled - this is super unique place for both Dominica and Caribbean standards so enjoy it as long as you want, it deserves it! TIP: take your time and enjoy this stop, it's time consuming to get here and tiresome but it's so worth it, trust me

On sundays the owner cooks up a righteous midday meal - chicken, rice, phenomenal Mac n cheese, salad, etc and serves it right on the beach. When it runs out, it’s gone so get there by 2-ish. The rum punch (limit yourself to two!) is great and soaking in hot water bubbling up from ocean floor in rocked off ‘tubs’ completes the scene it’s a public beach so no entry fee but make sure to hit up donation box!
