Where
to stay in Dominica
along
the NORTH COAST
|
| GUADELOUPE
CHANNEL + lES sAINTS |
|
|
| The north facing north east coast, whilst on the Atlantic
side, is nevertheless quite sheltered from the prevailing easterly winds.
There are many sheltered coves and inlets, some of which are suitable for
snorkelling, relatively secluded white sand beaches and several estuaries
suitable for freshwater bathing. The village of Calibishie, central to
this area, has a small selection of restaurants and stores. For those wishing
to stay at several locations around the island, this is a sensible starting
point, due to its proximity to our main airport at Melville Hall, thus
avoiding a long drive or taxi journey across the island after what may
have been a tiring flight. In easy reach is Dominica's second largest town,
Portsmouth, where you may enjoy the Cabrits National Park, with its Welcome
Centre, several nature trails and the ruins of Fort Shirley. To the south
of Portsmouth flows the tranquil Indian River, accessed by rowing boat
only. Around and to the north of the Cabrits peninsular is a marine reserve,
beyond which are some sunken wrecks. Scuba is catered for by a dive centre
located at Picard, a mile or so to the south of Portsmouth. |
