Mero Beach, Scott's Head or Champagne?

Mero Beach, Scott's Head or Champagne? Which one would you recommend?

I'm also interested to hear if there is anyone out there who has snorkeled both Champagne and Scott's Head. We did Champagne 2 years ago and it was great. Some of the most enjoyable snorkeling I've done in the Caribbean. I've heard Scott's Head requires a lot longer swim out from shore. Anyone with first hand experience?

We spent a week diving in dominica and while champagne is unique, after about 10 minutes we had the been there, done that feeling. Scotts head has a lot nicer coral type snorkeling/diving to see more "stuff". Scotts head coral is a little further out from shore but still not very far.

Thanks for the info. We'll have to try Scott's Head the next time I get a chance to get back to Dominica.

also, keep in mind that it is easier to get in and out at scotts head. it is a lovely spot!!

By far you should do Scotts Head - much more to see

How far away is Scott's Head from the cruise dock?? Can I take the city bus??? I am also thinking of a beach day at Mero Beach. Any information would be great.

Thanks

Is Champagne snorkeling a beach snorkel? Can you just walk out into the water and snorkel or is it pretty deep?

I have only been to Champagne so I can't comment on the others. It is a rock beach. No sand. When we were there, the water was rough and I got badly scraped up with the surf and the rocks. The snorkeling was great in terms of stuff to see and I saw some squid which I've never seen anywhere else. There are also a lot of rocks in the water so you have be careful not to scrape your knees snorkeling. There was a dive shop on site, but we brought our own equipment. I didn't think the bubbles were anything to write home about. Occasional little bubbles coming up, but certainly not like a jacuzzi. I would save a beach trip for a different island and spend your time in Dominica exploring this beautiful island's inland offerings. Maybe do a boat snorkeling trip if offered. We hired a driver for the day and crammed in as much as possible. Highly recommended.

I haven't been to champagne but I have been to Scott's. It's really a good place to snorkel. The swim isn't too far out. We snorkeled for a couple hours there. If you go down towards the end and go out, that's where we saw the best stuff. If you swim far enough out you can see a drop off and we could see about 70' the day we were there. Not sure if a city bus would go there so hire a local driver. There's not much waves there so don't let the swim out scare you. It really isn't bad at all.
