Beach

Peaceful black sand beach. Access through a trail between two villas, slightly sporty descent.

Intro

Hodge Beach is a quiet black-sand beach on Dominica’s Northeast Coast, near Calibishie. Access is via a small path between two villas, followed by a steep forest descent. It’s peaceful and isolated, ideal if you want to disconnect from busier beaches.

What you’ll do

  • Find the small access point between two villas and start the descent.
  • Walk down worn steps and forest sections with roots and mud.
  • Arrive on a quiet black-sand beach with a wild, untouched feel.
  • Relax, take photos, and enjoy the calm.
  • Head back up the same way (the climb out is the hardest part).

Key tips

  • The steps can be worn and slippery, especially after rain. Take it slow.
  • Wear shoes with grip. Water shoes can help on the rocky shoreline.
  • Bring what you need (water, towel). There may be no services.
  • Check sea conditions before swimming.

Best time

Calm sea days; late afternoon for softer light

What to bring

Shoes with grip, water shoes (optional), swimwear & towel, water, dry bag (optional)

How to get there

Look for a small access path/sign between two villas, then follow the worn steps down through the forest to the beach.

Safety

Steep descent with worn steps, roots, and slippery mud. Take your time, especially after rain.
