Beach description
The beach area is surrounded by thickets of trees and coconut trees. The entry of the sea is gentle and shallow. The water is crystal clear and warm. There are no high waves and strong winds on this beach.
Filming of the movie 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The dead man's chest' made famous this beach. It was on Hempstead Beach that Jack Sparrow chased strangers.
The beach is mostly deserted. There are few vacationers due to the almost degraded road. Therefore, to get to the beach, you need to ride an SUV or walk several kilometers from the road. Accordingly, lovers of extreme and ecotourism prefer to organize vacations on this beach. Hempstead beach is less often chosen for families with children.
When is it better to go?
The average temperature in Dominica does not go beyond 25-30 degrees all year round. From June to October, powerful tropical showers are washed down the island, so iti s better to choose a different time of the year for a trip.
