Tropical Gems of The Eastern Caribbean

A true hidden gem. The waterfall flows into these clear, blue-green pools, and the whole area is surrounded by jungle. The water is refreshing but not too cold—perfect for a dip. The walk to get here isn’t long, but it’s a bit tricky with some rocks and tree roots to navigate. Once you arrive, though, it’s breathtaking.

The mall offers numerous parking spots and houses a large grocery store, making it convenient for both locals and tourists. There are also several fast-food outlets and restaurants to choose from.

What I love about Anse Michel is how peaceful it is—no big resorts, no noisy crowds, just nature at its best. The white sand is super soft, and there are plenty of trees if you want some shade. Just a heads-up: if you come on a windy day, it can feel a bit stronger than other beaches, but that’s what makes it fun for sports!

The short hike to these falls is manageable, even for casual walkers. It can be a bit slippery, so proper footwear is advisable. The area is less crowded than other tourist spots, a hidden gem worth exploring.

The beach's black volcanic sand and clear blue waters create a stunning contrast that's perfect for photography. The beach is lined with local bars and restaurants, providing a taste of Dominican cuisine and culture. You can also rent sun loungers and umbrellas if you want to just relax.
