    Beautiful picture! It looks tranquil and an excellent area to go for a swim.
    Life is to be enjoyed. Those pictures are not only to be viewed but enjoyed. Fellow resident Dominicans go as often to the beach and river as you possibly could. They are also therapeutic.
    God bless!

      I am thinking of the same. This is what Dominicans should do. Travel throughout the country and get to know it and those places.

    TO ADMIN:I think that for clarification, the photographs must be properly labelled. Sout Man described it:Batibou Beach near Hamstead in Calibishi. The captions would prevent many people from asking the same question. That’s just an observation. Keep up the good work though. Mr. Masek, that’s a beautiful shot.

      Batibou Beach is in Hampstead, near Calibishie, Commonwealth of Dominica, West Indies. I hate to mention that the incident with the German tourist took place on that beach; so be careful.

    Sometimes I wonder if these photos are really in Dominica. I’ve been here all my live and never knew these beautiful places existed. Shame on me. This is a stunning beauty. I think I need to do somes exploring of my own country.

      If you were visit the beach, you would likely not see THAT view. What you see in the photo is what the photographer framed in his picture.

      Unless you have the eye for photo composition, the scenes will be there but you will not see them.

        Sorry, I think the shot is taken from the path going to Batibou Beach. May be when you look around, you will find it.
