Dominica (/dəˈmɪˌnɪkə/ or /ˌdɒmɪˈniːkə/; French: Dominique; Island Carib: Wai‘tu kubuli), officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is a sovereign island country.[8] The capital, Roseau, is located on the leeward side of the island. It is part of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island lies south-southeast of Guadeloupe and northwest of Martinique. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census.[5]

The island was originally inhabited by the Kalinago and later colonised by Europeans, predominantly by the French from the 1690s to 1763. Columbus is said to have passed the island on Sunday, 3 November 1493, and the island's name is derived from the Latin for Sunday. Great Britain took possession in 1763 after its defeat of France in the Seven Years' War, and it gradually established English as the official language. The island republic gained independence in 1978.

Its name is pronounced with stress falling either on second syllable of the word, after the Latin word dŏmĭnĭcă lordly, or on the third syllable, after the French name Dominique. Dominica has been nicknamed the Nature Isle of the Caribbean for its natural environment.[9] It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall occurs inland. The Sisserou parrot, also known as the imperial amazon and found only on Dominica, is the island's national bird and featured on the national flag. Dominica's economy depends on tourism and agriculture.

Dominica's economy depends on tourism and agriculture.

Dominica is mostly volcanic and has few beaches; therefore, tourism has developed more slowly than on neighboring islands. Nevertheless, Dominica's mountains, rainforests, freshwater lakes, hot springs, waterfalls, and diving spots make it an attractive ecotourism destination. Cruise ship stopovers have increased following the development of modern docking and waterfront facilities in Roseau, the capital. Out of 22 Caribbean islands tracked, Dominica had the fewest visitors in 2008 (55,800 or 0.3% of the total). This was about half as many as visited Haiti. The volcanic nature of the island has attracted scuba divers.

Dominica has two major newspapers, The Sun and The Chronicle. There are two national television stations and a few radio stations, ZBC-AM 590, En Ba Mango 93.5/96.9FM, ZGBC-AM 740, ZGBC-FM 90.7 (Portsmouth), ZGBC-FM 102.1 (Roseau) and ZGBC-FM 106.1 (Marigot), Q95 FM, the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation, LIME and Digicel compete for most of Dominica's wireless customers.

New Roseau, Dominica Scenic Driving Before Category 5 Hurricane Maria

Sharing new Roseau, Dominica scenic driving before Category 5 Hurricane Maria hit the Island Nation. It's been exactly 2 years since this disaster and I hope recovery has been going well. This particular video is recorded about 4.5 months before Maria and contains the rest of the amazing views from Morne Bruce, Roseau all the way to Emerald Pool Waterfalls including the botanical gardens of Roseau. This video also contains scenes from the rainforests of Dominica.

The photos from Morne Bruce Viewpoint of Roseau with Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas at the port was captured with my SONY Alpha 65 with 8mm lens. The camera is 24 Mp luckily had plenty pixels to zoom in...

According to Wikipedia

Hurricane Maria was a deadly Category 5 hurricane that devastated Dominica, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico in September 2017. It is regarded as the worst natural disaster in recorded history to affect those islands and was also the deadliest Atlantic hurricane since Mitch in 1998. The tenth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record and the most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2017, Maria was the thirteenth named storm, eighth consecutive hurricane, fourth major hurricane, second Category 5 hurricane, and deadliest storm of the hyperactive 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. At its peak, the hurricane caused catastrophic destruction and numerous fatalities across the northeastern Caribbean, compounding recovery efforts in the areas of the Leeward Islands already struck by Hurricane Irma. Total losses from the hurricane are estimated at upwards of $91.61 billion (2017 USD), mostly in Puerto Rico, ranking it as the third-costliest tropical cyclone on record.


Dominica (/ˌdɒmɪˈniːkə/ DOM-ih-NEE-kə; French: Dominique; Island Carib: Wai‘tu kubuli), officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island country in the West Indies.[9] The capital, Roseau, is located on the western side of the island. It is part of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island is located near Guadeloupe to the northwest and Martinique to the south-southeast. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census.

Mero Beach in Roseau, Dominica

If you’re a fan of beaches, the island of Dominica in the Caribbean has it all. Dominica is known for its mixture of rugged, dark sandy beaches and classic white-sand Caribbean beaches. A holiday to Dominica usually consists of a relaxing stay in one of the island’s many resorts, where you can sip cocktails and eat delicious seafood to your heart’s content.

Mero Beach is Dominica’s most popular beach thanks to its proximity to the island’s capital city of Roseau. The busy beach is packed with bars, music and tasty restaurants and it’s a great place to party and have fun. The beach has black sand and warm, calm waters alongside public restrooms and facilities. The beach is located near to some of the island’s top all-inclusive resorts and draws a big crowd.

This long, lovely stretch of silver-gray volcanic sand is a rarity on Dominica’s rocky coastline. Locals enjoy it for the warm, calm waters and Sunday beach barbecue scene—not to mention the toilets, showers, concession stands, and nearby restaurants. However, it’s just a half-hour drive north of the cruise ship terminal in Roseau, so the crowds can heat up when the big vessels dock. Steer clear then, if you can.
What would an island adventure be without a day at the beach? Families truly enjoy Mero Beach, even though it can be one of the more crowded beaches on the island. The black-sand beach on the west coast of the island has public bathrooms and food and beverage service, and is one of the few beaches on the island to have these amenities.

The waters are known for being placid and gorgeous, and making for easy and delightful dips in the sea. This is the closest beach to the town of Roseau, making it popular and easily accessible.

Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten near the Carolinas on August 28
A long-tracked tropical wave was designated as Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten when it was located southeast of Florida on August 25. The NHC gave this disturbance a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.[148] However, the system failed to attain any more tropical characteristics. Consequently, the NHC issued its last advisory on the system on August 29, and declared the system to be an extratropical low.[149]

Dominica (/dəˈmɪˌnɪkə/ or /ˌdɒmɪˈniːkə/; French: Dominique; Island Carib: Wai‘tu kubuli), officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is a sovereign island country.[8] The capital, Roseau, is located on the leeward side of the island. It is part of the Windward Islands in the Lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The island lies south-southeast of Guadeloupe and northwest of Martinique. Its area is 750 km2 (290 sq mi), and the highest point is Morne Diablotins, at 1,447 m (4,747 ft) in elevation. The population was 71,293 at the 2011 census.

The island was originally inhabited by the Kalinago and later colonised by Europeans, predominantly by the French from the 1690s to 1763. Columbus is said to have passed the island on Sunday, 3 November 1493, and the island's name is derived from the Latin for Sunday. Great Britain took possession in 1763 after its defeat of France in the Seven Years' War, and it gradually established English as the official language. The island republic gained independence in 1978.

Its name is pronounced with stress falling either on second syllable of the word, after the Latin word dŏmĭnĭcă lordly, or on the third syllable, after the French name Dominique. Dominica has been nicknamed the Nature Isle of the Caribbean for its natural environment.[9] It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest hot spring, called Boiling Lake. The island has lush mountainous rainforests, and is the home of many rare plants, animals, and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall occurs inland. The Sisserou parrot, also known as the imperial amazon and found only on Dominica, is the island's national bird and featured on the national flag. Dominica's economy depends on tourism and agriculture.

Dominica is mostly volcanic and has few beaches; therefore, tourism has developed more slowly than on neighboring islands. Nevertheless, Dominica's mountains, rainforests, freshwater lakes, hot springs, waterfalls, and diving spots make it an attractive ecotourism destination. Cruise ship stopovers have increased following the development of modern docking and waterfront facilities in Roseau, the capital. Out of 22 Caribbean islands tracked, Dominica had the fewest visitors in 2008 (55,800 or 0.3% of the total). This was about half as many as visited Haiti. The volcanic nature of the island has attracted scuba divers.

Dominica has two major newspapers, The Sun and The Chronicle. There are two national television stations and a few radio stations, ZBC-AM 590, En Ba Mango 93.5/96.9FM, ZGBC-AM 740, ZGBC-FM 90.7 (Portsmouth), ZGBC-FM 102.1 (Roseau) and ZGBC-FM 106.1 (Marigot), Q95 FM, the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation, LIME and Digicel compete for most of Dominica's wireless customers.

Top 5 Beaches in Dominica | Nature Island | Discover Dominica

Hi Guys,

Thanks for clicking on another video!

Dominica is well known for it's beautiful 365 rivers but I wanted to highlight that we have amazing beaches as well. This video shows my top 5 but there are a ton more to chose from.

Here are the beaches in order that they appear in the video:
1. Secret Beach-in Portsmouth but only accessible by boat.
2. Toucari Beach- In the village of Toucari. Must visit the restaurant Keeping it Real
3. Sand Bay- In the village of Marigot. Beautiful beach with a paved path but very steep.
4. Batibou- Really wish I got to show more of this beach. The black sand spans for at least a mile and it is absolutely breath taking
5. Purple Turtle- In Portsmouth. Definitely the party beach. Shout out to my lil cousin Jamilah for showing us this beach

Have you visited any of these beaches? Which one is your favorite? If not, which one will you visit after watching this video ?
