Saint Andrew Parish

This administrative region spans along the eastern coastal area of Dominica and forms one of the country's largest divisions. It encompasses several villages and bays scattered across the coastline, along with elevated terrain extending inland.

The area experienced a major development in 1961 with the opening of an airport that improved connections to the eastern part of the country. This new link made access easier for people and goods moving through the region.

The fishing villages here maintain time-honored methods that shape daily life in the communities. Visitors can observe how locals work with boats and nets in ways passed down through generations.

The region is accessible by several road connections that run along the coast and link various villages. The best way to explore the area is with your own vehicle or organized transport, as public transit options are limited.

The area offers surprising space for farming despite its coastal location, with fields spreading across gentle slopes away from the shore. This blend of sea views and farmland shapes the landscape in unexpected ways.
