Champagne Bay, Coastal settlement and bay in Pointe Michel, Dominica
The southeastern coastal area features a sheltered bay with clear waters bordered by volcanic rock formations and coral reefs near the shore.
The bay earned recognition in the 1970s when scientists discovered underwater volcanic vents releasing continuous streams of gas bubbles through the ocean floor.
Local fishermen from Pointe Michel maintain traditional fishing methods, supplying fresh catches to neighborhood markets and waterfront dining establishments.
Visitors can access the bay through marked paths from Pointe Michel village, with rental equipment available at several beachfront facilities.
Geothermal activity beneath the ocean floor creates thousands of tiny bubbles that rise through cracks in the volcanic rocks.
