Champagne Beach Springs near Pointe Michel on Dominica's southwestern coast are shallow marine volcanic springs where geothermal CO₂ bubbles rise through the seabed, creating the sparkling effervescent effect that gives the site its name — snorkellers and divers float above a seafloor fizzing with volcanic carbonation in an experience unique in the Caribbean. The bicarbonate and chloride-rich volcanic water dissolves into the Champagne Beach shallows, warming and mineralising the surrounding sea and creating a visually spectacular underwater landscape of bubbling vents, tropical fish, and volcanic rock draped in coral. Champagne Beach is one of Dominica's most celebrated natural attractions, exemplifying the island's extraordinary geothermal heritage and its position as the premier volcanic nature tourism destination in the Lesser Antilles.
