Dominica's East Attractions

The small community of Castle Bruce on the east coast of Dominica has a sweeping bay providing good views with the peak of Morne Trois Pitons in the background.

The main village on Dominica's southeast coast sits on a wide slope of hardened lava once emitted from the volcanoes in the Grand Soufrière Hills behind the La Plaine.

Marigot, Dominica's third largest town, is fishing village.

Silks Hotel was formerly a museum which has now been turned into a luxury hotel furnished in Creole style. The building itself was originally a 19th Century lime and sugar factory. The lush gardens and stone work add a tropical atmosphere to the hotel.

Melville Hall Airport on Dominica's East Coast is a 75-minute drive from the capital of Roseau.

On the northeast coast, four beaches are among Dominica's most beautiful.

L'Anse Noire, Hodges Beach, Woodford Hill Bay, and Hampstead Beach though attractive are not great for swimming. Divers and snorkelers often come here, even though the water can be rough at times.

Cascading 150ft/45m the Sari-Sari Waterfall with a swimmable pool at its base is so large the spray can be felt for hundreds of meters.
