Dominica Favorites

North coast beaches

by delphis

I love the secluded beaches and bays of Dominica's northeast coast. Anse De Mai is an official port of entry, and you may be able to pick up a trip from to the French island of Guadeloupe or Marie Galante.

Coastline

by Martin_S.

Travel the entire coastline south, north, east, west, does not matter where, there are beautiful places to see. This pic was taken on the northeastern coastline near Calibishie. Hell (whoops, sorry, not supposed to use that word here, I actually said HECK), it would be easier to mention spots that did not hold special memories here on Dominica, we would go back again in a second.....

by TheMiche

Go to the Carib Territory. It is another world within this world. When you enter the Carib territory, the people, structure and atmosphere abruptly changes .. it's almost like going back centuries in time. The Ash Wednesday after-Carnival ceremony in the Carib Territory, where they bury the spirit of Carnival till the next year. Drumming rythmns, an up-hill (steep hill) parade in the street with the coffin. The fire-dancing while the coffins burns. It is out-of-this-world.

It's like going back in time when you explore Morne Trois Pitons National Park*, a primordial rain forest. Mists rise gently over lush, dark-green growth, drifting up to blue-green peaks that have earned Dominica the title 'Switzerland of the Caribbean.' Framed by banks of giant ferns, rivers rush and tumble. Trees sprout orchids, green sunlight filters down through trees, and roaring waterfalls create a blue mist. One of the best starting points for a visit to the park is the village of Laudat, 7 miles from Roseau.Deep in the park is the Emerald Pool Trail, a half-mile circuit loop that passes through the forest to a pool with a beautiful waterfall. Downpours are frequent in the rain forest, and at high elevations, cold winds blow. It lies 3 1/2 miles northeast of Pont Casse.

An absoultute must when in the Dominica is sailing. The ocean is beautiful and there are many bays which you can snorkle or dive. My fondest memory of the Dominican was Joyce from Larimar Horses. She gives the best horse back riding tours. The day ride was fabulous.

I know it's probably been written over and over again, but, if you're in Dominica, you have to hike to the Boiling Lake. You climb 3,000 feet atop Morne Nichols, climb down into the Valley of Desolation, and then climb up again to the Boiling Lake--all while scrambling over rocks, slipping in mud, sweating buckets, huffing the entire way, and seeing the most beautiful sites you may ever see in your life! The scene at the Valley of Desolation (that's the picture--notice all the steam) and the Boiling Lake is definitely other-worldly--lava is sputtering here and there, steam is rising from who knows where, you see a rivulet of boiling black water, and the fumes--I can't even begin to discuss the fumes! This hike isn't only about what you see, but how you feel. Believe me, I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a great hiker--I'm a city girl who felt the greatest sense of...

One adventure I'd suggest is spending a day at Cataways Resort which is about 5 miles from Roseau. The beach really is impeccable and so is the restaurant. You will need to call first for permission since it is a resort. You will enjoy diving into the Caribbean sea from the small dock. They can be reached at 767-449-6244 or 888-227-8292 or e-mail them at castaways@cwdom.dm. My fondest memory of Dominica was landing there in April of 1999. Just seeing the ocean and the rain forest near the airport while still airborne was like a fantasy! Be advised, the connecting flights into Dominica are mainly handled by LIAT and the aircrafts normally hold about 20-50 people only. If you love adventure, nature, small shops, and natural ambience, you'll love Dominica.
