Also known as the Nature Isle, Dominica isn’t the typical resort-infused destination like other Caribbean islands.  Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) has not been over-commercialized or overrun with tourists. 

Only 29 miles long and 17 miles wide, Dominica’s dense rain forest environment is one of rugged mountains, cliffs and drop-offs that spill into gorges of vegetation or the sea. 

The island's landscape, shaped by a volcanic past which remains active, supports one of only two boiling lakes in the world. Most of Dominica's beaches consist of fine, volcanic black sand. 

The island supports 365 rivers, a multitude of waterfalls and several hot water mineral springs. The climate is spring-like; the sun is either shining or it is raining. Rainbows are plentiful ...and experiences are bountiful.     Learn more at our sister site:  www.dominicaliving.com 

Dominica, (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic), is the middle island in the Caribbean chain.
