Concord Waterfalls

Concord is not one, but three waterfalls. At the edge of the nature reserve on the west of the island, the first one is the most readily accessible with a road leading to it.  

Perish - St. John

Directions - Turn off the main road in the village of Concord (on the west coast road). Drive for about 5 minutes up a narrow, steady incline all the way to the top. The road dead ends at the waterfalls, so you can’t get lost … just follow it to the end.

Cost - $3 USD per person

If you like to hike, then this is a treat. Concord is not one, but three waterfalls.  It is situated on the edge of the forest reserve on the western side of the island, and therefore the water is crystal clear and ice cold. Of the three waterfalls in this area, the first one is the most readily accessible and most photographed, with a paved road leading almost directly up to it. There is nothing like taking a bracing dip in a cool mountain stream, so we do suggest that you walk with the necessary clothing.  You can bathe in the cool, crystal clear water of what is in effect a mountain stream, so it’s a good idea to take a swimming costume. The second of the falls, Au Coin, is altogether larger but it’s a 45 minute hike to get there, passing through, amongst other things, a nutmeg plantation. The third falls, called Fontainbleu, is even more remote, but well worth the journey to see the water cascading down a 65 feet into a crystal clear pool. To visit all three falls, you need to allocate a full morning.
