Why We Picked Calibishie
We had been researching Dominica at this point, but we very still pretty green – but ready for adventure. We didn’t know at the time, but we picked the best village to start our trip, Calibishie! A small village located just 20 minutes from the airport on the north east part of the island. Calibishie has multiple places to stays with locals and a few restaurants within walking distances. It’s also perfect location for a lot of cool places like the Red Rocks and Bantiou Beach.
During our stay at Sandbar, we met our host – Christie. We can’t wait to go back and visit with her again, she was the best host and was so sweet. She painted us a beautiful door stop and even gave us beautiful flowers for our anniversary!
Staying At The Sandbar
Unique Accommodation
Located right on the ocean, and when I say on the ocean, I mean ON THE OCEAN! Best sleep we have gotten was here!
Idyllic Location
It’s close enough to all the cool outdoorsy things you will want to do, but not surrounded by too many people.
Exceptional Comfort
Christie – the host, is wonderful. We chatted for a while, but she always gave us our privacy. It was very nice to have her as our host. She gave us these flowers for our anniversary ❤️
Exclusive Privacy
When you are on the balcony or inside, you will have all the privacy and seclusion you are looking for.

The Rainbow Restaurant
The Rainbow Restaurant, located right off the main road is a great stop for lunch & dinner. It’s also a 2 minute walk from the Sandbar, which is a big win! It’s the best way to have good food and drinks after a long day of exploring the Dominica island!
Not only was the food and drinks amazing, but the staff that worked there were so nice and engaging. Super fun crowd, with great locals and overall a great experience.
Explore The Red Rocks
How it was formed
Volcanoes! Many years ago, after an eruption, the fast lava flow rushed down to the sea, burning everything in its path. It simply heated the ocean, made steam, cooled down, and left behind grey ground. As time passed, the iron in the ground rusted, creating Red Rocks.
How to get there
Just 20 min from the Douglas Charles Airport, after parking at the restaurant (we did not eat there, as it wasn’t opened when we did this in the AM) you will take a quick hike to the opening.
Our Tour Guide
Story Time – after we parked and we were getting out of the car a dog JUMPED on us, but just to say hello! Super friendly, but scared me silly. Thinking he was just a local island dog, we started to walk to the trail. As we are walking, this dog is LEADING us exactly where we needed to go. Showed us the way to the staircase that will take you to the Red Rocks and even stayed with us while we explored. We named him Rocky! Say hello!
