Best Beach on Every Island in the Caribbean – Fodor’s Travel

A volcanic island with 365 rivers and as many waterfalls, “The Nature Island” is not exactly known for its beaches. Nearly all of them are rocky and have jet black or dark gray sand. But Mero Beach, on the southwestern (Caribbean) coast, has a long stretch of silvery-gray sand, and it’s not rocky. Swimmers find the warm, calm, kid-friendly water inviting. Several hotels are nearby, and you’ll find a restaurant, beach vendors, and other amenities (showers and restrooms)—which are mostly unavailable on the other beaches of Dominica.
