Toucari Bay Beach, Caribbean beach in northwest Dominica
Toucari Bay Beach is a dark-sand shore on the northwest coast of Dominica with calm, clear waters bordered by cliffs. The bay opens to views of Guadeloupe and the Saints islands across the water.
A German vessel lies on the seafloor after sinking during World War I, and over time it became an artificial reef supporting marine life. This wreck remains a silent testament to the past beneath the surface.
Local fishermen continue their work in the bay using traditional methods, while nearby restaurants prepare fresh seafood caught from these waters each day. The village follows the rhythm of the tides and the knowledge passed down through families.
Access the beach by following the main road from Portsmouth toward Tan-Tan and turning left at the Morne A Louis junction. The road leads directly down to the shoreline, making it straightforward to find a quiet spot.
Beneath the surface, coral-covered rock formations create long tunnels where schools of French grunts swim through in search of shelter and food. This underwater landscape is often overlooked by visitors who stay near the shore.
