I went here recently and the snorkeling was good but not great. I went on the north side of the rocks, and the rocks that you see drop almost straight down probably about 30 ft underwater, so it makes for some very interesting snorkeling at least. For those wanting to try it the instructions I got from a local that worked were this: Park where you see the sign included in my photos. From there it is a half mile walk total. Start on the path that you see just beyond the chain. After 1/10 of a mile turn left and go on to the beach where you will walk the remaining 4/10 of a mile. The beach is stony (like most of them in Dominica!) so I recommend sneakers or hiking boots. When you see the building in one of my photos, turn for the beach just before it.

lovely clear water but ask your driver/ bus to get as close to the rock as possible. Access to the beach was unfortunately very overgrown and unmaintained. beach is all big stones, not sandy
