Saint Patrick Parish

The territory spans roughly 80 square kilometers in southeastern Dominica and includes many villages and hamlets. The terrain is hilly, with significant elevation changes and dense vegetation that shapes the landscape.

The area was established as one of ten administrative divisions on the island and has served regional governance since its formation. Grand Bay became its administrative center.

The area is shaped by villages like La Plaine and Bagatelle, where daily life is marked by local customs and community activities. These settlements show how residents keep their Dominican roots alive through regular gatherings and shared celebrations.

Access is via the main coastal road that connects Grand Bay to other regions and is passable during daylight hours. Planning ahead helps account for the varying elevations and road conditions.

The region shows relatively dense settlement for Dominican standards, with villages nestled into the hilly landscape. This concentration of communities in the hills is distinctive for this part of the island.
