Cailbishie is one of the most popular areas of Dominica  for people from overseas looking to make Dominica their home.

The village   is on the north east coast of Dominica and is protected from the ocean by  a mile long barrier reef  one of the longest on the island. In the Arawakan language spoken by the Kalinago/Caribs, the name of this village means: Cali = net, bishie/shibi = reef.

Other natural features of Calibishie are the red clay rocks, which cover the headlands around the bay with its distinctive islets called, Port D’Enfer .

There are beautiful  views across the channel to the French Island of The Saintes, Guadeloupe and Mariegalante also add to the beauty of the area.

 Caribs followed by the French, English and African slaves settled this area and it has a very distinctive history. For more on the histiory of Calibishie visit  http://www.lennoxhonychurch.com/article.cfm?id=376 For an article written by the distinguished Dr. Lennox Honychurch

 Calibishie although renowned for its beaches still  has forested areas where manioc and cassava were grown by the Caribs.   Safe Haven Real Estate has  a fabulous piece of real estate which bounds with the falls  seen on this blog containing 5.9 acres  at an amazing price of US$9,300/ EC$25,000 an acre!
