Forty acres in the middle of the capital, established 1891, holding the bois kwaib national tree.
A steep shaded path from behind the gardens up to the Morne Bruce lookout over Roseau.
A fifteen minute climb up the volcanic headland at the island's southern tip, with views to Martinique.
Long black sand on the west coast, calm water, local bars rather than resorts.
A broad sheltered beach on Prince Rupert Bay, free, and used heavily by locals.
A remote north east beach backed by forest, and a nesting beach for hawksbill, leatherback and green turtles.
Rastafari Ital on River Street, fully plant based, with sea moss and passion fruit juices.
Be clear about money here, because Dominica charges for most of its famous sites through a national Site Pass covering ten locations, and the Waitukubuli National Trail charges visitors separately. Everything in this itinerary sits outside both. Roseau is walkable, green and almost entirely free.
Forty acres in the middle of the capital, established 1891, holding the bois kwaib national tree. Free, and not on the government site pass list. Walk the grounds and skip the parrot aviary.
A steep shaded path from behind the gardens up to the Morne Bruce lookout over Roseau. Twenty to thirty minutes, free.
Rastafari Ital on River Street, fully plant based, with sea moss and passion fruit juices. Cash only.
The south west tip is where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic, and the headland at Scott's Head sits on the edge of a community managed marine reserve. The reserve charges divers, not walkers, so the climb costs nothing.

The north coast is the quieter half of the island and the beaches are black volcanic sand rather than white. Hampstead is a nesting beach for hawksbill, leatherback and green turtles, so no lights after dark in season and keep off the dunes.
