Also known as Hampstead Beach, Number One Beach lies on a remote stretch of Dominica’s Atlantic shoreline. The beach was the setting for one of the most dramatic scenes from the Pirates of the Caribbean, when Jack Sparrow was chased along this stretch of sand by a band of enraged locals. While it is true that Number One Beach is exotic and tropically beautiful, it is a little too remote to be popular and visitors wanting to come here will need to drive 90 minutes from the capital, Roseau. You can certainly enjoy a Robinson Crusoe-like walk around the beach but the waters are generally too chilly and rough for swimming.
