Calibishie is a village in Dominica, located on the north-east coast of the island, immediately to the east of the village of Hampstead. The Calibishie Coast Travel Area is thought by many to be the most scenic and unspoiled region of Dominica. The Calibishie coast is one of the few areas in the world where the distance from the seashore to rain forest is little more than a mile. Calibishie is home to Dominica's Batibou, Hampstead, Hodges, Point Baptiste, Turtle and Woodford Hill Beaches.

The area has palm-fringed beaches, freshwater rivers with secluded bathing pools, waterfalls and dense rain forest with exotic birds and lush vegetation. Tourist attractions include cycling, snorkelling and scuba diving.

A wide variety of accommodation is available along the coast. The local population is very friendly and quite a few small, local restaurants have begun to sprout up the meet the needs of growing tourism to the area.
