Ripaton Beach is located in Saint John within Portsmouth, which makes it not only easily accessible, but even popular among tourists. However, during the high season it is quite uncrowded, which allows you to spend a comfortable time on the coast.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Dominica island, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"The serene and tranquil atmosphere of this beach is truly unparalleled, making it my top choice for a peaceful getaway. Its natural beauty and unspoiled surroundings create a sense of calm and relaxation that is hard to find elsewhere. This beach is truly a hidden gem, and I feel privileged to have experienced its serene ambiance."

Ronald Greenhill

"Ah, the beach after a hurricane. It's like a before-and-after photo, except the "after" is a soggy mess. But fear not, my beach-loving friends, for this particular stretch of sand will surely rise from the wreckage like a phoenix from the ashes. Just give it time. And maybe bring some extra towels."
