Scotts Head Lighthouse is a small lighted navigational aid in Scott's Head, Dominica. It is a cylindrical metal post approximately 5 meters (16.4 ft) tall, with the lamp at the top of the post. It emits a quick-flashing white (Q.W.) light.
It is located at the top of the Scotts Head peninsula (or Cachacrou peninsula), in southwestern Dominica. The peninsula is considered a tied island, due to its being connected to the mainland by a tombolo.
