Roseau

Roseau is a charming costal village of Dominica and your gateway to one of the Caribbean's most untouched islands. With its lush forested mountains, countless rivers, and black-sand beaches, you'll see why it's called the "Nature Island of the Caribbean." If you've ever wondered what an authentic Caribbean island was like, this is it.

Attractions

Go snorkeling at Champagne Beach. These actual effervescent waters produce a "fizzing effect" due to the sub-aquatic surroundings. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to swim alongside parrot fish in bubbly waters.

• History buffs should take a peek into Colonial island life and volcanic geology at the Dominica Museum.


• See if you can spot the 150 species of plants and rare Dominica parrots at the Botanical Gardens.


• Get a good dose of vitamin D on the island's beautiful black-sand beaches.
