Glassie Pool Adventure Spot

Glassie Pool, also known as Glassy Pool or Glasi Pool, is a striking coastal feature located near the village of Boetica in Saint Patrick Parish on Dominica’s east coast. Set on a rocky peninsula bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, this turquoise sea pool presents a calm and picturesque escape, drawing nature lovers and thrill-seekers.

Glassie Pool: Access and Experience

Reaching Glassie Pool requires a short hike along the Glassy Trail, a 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) round-trip route that begins in Boetica. The trail takes hikers through lush vegetation and offers sweeping coastline views before arriving at this coastal gem. The hike typically takes about an hour and is well-marked for convenience.

At the pool, visitors can marvel at seeing seawater filling the natural basin as waves crash over the surrounding cliffs. On calmer days, the pool is ideal for swimming, though caution is advised due to the potential for strong waves.

The stunning contrast of tranquil turquoise waters against rugged cliffs makes Glassie Pool a unique destination for relaxation and photography, embodying the untamed beauty of Dominica’s Atlantic coastline.
