Discovering Dominica: A List of Things to Do
When people think of the Caribbean, they often imagine lounging on a beautiful beach, drink in hand. While Dominica certainly provides that, it has so much more to offer as well. This gorgeous island country is a land of adventure and thrills, rest, and relaxation. Dominica’s landscape is mountainous, providing a range of trails and paths for both the casual hiker and the intrepid adventurer. There are towering waterfalls, impressive canyons, and thick forests just waiting to be explored.
If that doesn’t sound like a good time, you can go tubing along a gentle river or spend some time in a hot spring. Regardless, Dominica is a destination everyone should experience at least once. Because of its terrain and size, it’s not as popular as some other Caribbean nations, so not only can you avoid tourist traps, but you’ll also be able to experience the authentic wonders of Dominica.
01 Dominica's Best Beach
Many travel sites and blogs will tell you that Dominica’s Mero Beach is the best beach in the country, but most locals disagree with this. If you ask around, you’ll discover the best beach is the beautiful and isolated Batibou. Unlike others nearby, the only bar on the island is often empty and there are no amenities. Instead, nature grows on Batibou Beach without restriction, creating one of the most scenic and majestic sandy spaces the world can offer.
