Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End Filming in Dominica

After the success of Dead Man’s Chest, Dominica once again served as a filming location for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, showcasing its rivers, waterfalls, and jungle terrain. With remote coastal cliffs and volcanic landscapes, Dominica added an element of mystery and danger to the film’s visual storytelling.

Filming Locations Used in At World’s End

Soufrière and Scotts Head – The Final Voyage

The dramatic coastline near Soufrière and Scotts Head was used for ocean battle sequences. The area’s deep waters and volcanic backdrop made it an ideal setting for epic ship confrontations.

Morne Trois Pitons National Park – Untamed Wilderness

The Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provided a dense rainforest setting for the film’s jungle-based scenes. The fog-covered peaks and hidden waterfalls gave the Caribbean pirate world an untamed, mythical feel.

Portsmouth and the Cabrits – The Pirate Hideout

The Cabrits National Park, home to Fort Shirley, was rumored to be scouted as a potential filming site due to its historical significance as a former British stronghold. Portsmouth’s historic setting and natural harbor aligned well with the film’s naval battle themes.

Why Dominica Was Chosen Again

Dominica’s unspoiled nature, lack of modern infrastructure in key areas, and natural volcanic landscapes made it a prime choice for depicting the hidden, remote world of pirates. Its diverse topography and historic sites added to the film’s authentic feel.
