    That is Secret Beach at Riviere Cyrique. I hiked to that beach and what a lovely site it is! To get to the beach one has to climb down grabing ropes installed to aid hikers.

      you must have been out of DA for too long to say thats stockfarm, the prison that there not de waterfall and there is no sea in stocky. I can’t say exactly where that is because I have never seen it but if I have to guess on the atlantic side because of the sea Rivere Cyrique.

    Anba Wavin Siwik Falls at Rivere Cyrique. It’s probably the only waterfall on Dominica that empties directly into the ocean. At certain times of the year it empties onto the black sand beach. Getting down on the beach to view this waterfall is quite a DRAMATIC EXPERIENCE.. Having to use a rope, a rope ladder and/or roots, as well as a very narrow track to get down to the beach. I have been there… a couple of times back in 2007.

    Located in Riviere Cyrique and know as enbas riviere cyrique. To get to it, you have to climb down a cliff while holding onto a rope and roots of trees. It is a challenging descent and even climbing back up. Not one for the faint hearted.
