Soufriere Scott’s Head Marine Reserve

 
Overview

Scotts Head is a village on the southwest coast of Dominica, in Saint Mark Parish. In 2001, its population was 721. Predominantly a fishing village, Scotts Head overlooks Soufrière Bay, which is protected as the Soufrière Scotts Head Marine Reserve.

Description

The sweeping bay stretching from Soufriere to Scotts Head is a vast volcanic crater of unknown depth and a haven for divers and snorkelers with nearly 30 different sites. With its dramatic drop-offs, walls, pinnacles, coral reefs, and underwater fumaroles, it delivers Caribbean diving at its finest and most pristine. The Kalinago associate many legends with these mysterious waters.
