Sightseeing ... 
Portsmouth 
This is the second town of Dominica which 
boasts a very beautiful harbour. Some of 
the attractions at Portsmouth include Prince 
Rupert’s Bay and Douglas Bay, two beauti¬ 
ful beaches. Nearby is the Cabrits, historic 
Fort Shirley and the Indian River. 
Prince Rupert’s Bay 
A stunning natural harbour which curves 
north to the twin peaks of the Cabrits. The 
sheltered bay, originally home to the Caribs, 
was spotted by one of Columbus’ boats on 
his second voyage. Subsequently it became 
a port of call for the Spanish conquistadors 
as they swept on to the South American 
mainland. 
Sulphur Springs 
There are three locations of sulphur 
springs—the Valley of Desolation, Wotten 
Waven, located across the valley from 
Trafalgar Falls and Grand Soufriere in the 
hills above the village of Soufriere to the 
south of Roseau. 
There is a mixture of hot clear waters 
suitable for natural mineral baths and bub¬ 
bling pools of grey mud, remnants of the 
island’s volcanic origins. 
Trafalgar Falls 
One of Dominica’s most fascinating and 
picturesque areas in the south central sec¬ 
tion of the island, not far from the capital of 
Roseau. The road is fnotorable to within a 
fifteen minute walk to the base of the falls. 
There are two major falls which converge in 
rocky pools, splashing the huge black rocks 
around which sprout ferns and orchids. On 
the left hand side is a smaller waterfall 
which is heavier in the rainy season. 
Valley of Desolation 
Probably the most fascinating area on Do¬ 
minica. Located on the flanks of Morne 
Watt, this area of sulphur springs is a 
collection of boiling water, pools of grey 
boiling mud and streams made multi¬ 
coloured by the many minerals contained in 
the water from the old volcanic activity.
