Dominica Info: The Commonwealth of Dominica, not to be confused with eh Dominican Republic, is an exotic island situated between the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe.  The largest and highest of the Windward Islands, Dominica is 29 miles long and 16 miles wide, with an area of 288 square miles (746 sq km), and it's highest point, Morne Diablotins, is 4,747 feet above sea level. 

History: Dominica has the last settlement of the original Carib Indians who gave the Caribbean it's name; the first European to see it was Christopher Columbus in 1493.  The island changed hands between the British and the French several times until it finally became a British possession in 1805.  It gained independence in 1978.  The official language of the 84,000 population is English, though French patois is also widely spoken, and the island's culture exhibits a strong French influence.

Climate: Average temperatures range between 24 degrees and 29 degrees centigrade.  The main rainy season is between June and October.

Natural Beauty: The mountains abound with rivers swiftly flowing to the sea, providing wonderful fresh water bathing, to be found nowhere else in the Caribbean.  The profusion of tropical fruits and vegetables, the dense tropical forests, deep valleys, fast-flowing rivers and waterfalls, small geysers and hot springs, and wildlife, attract botanist, ornithologists, nature-lovers, hikers, and mountain-climbers.  The surrounding sea provides a fascinating underwater world for explorations by scuba divers.

Beaches: Most of the best beaches are on the west and north coasts. These vary from black to honey-colored sands.  Bathing on the east coast can be dangerous, with strong undertows.  Swimming in rivers is not advisable during or after heavy rainfall, when there is a serious risk of flash floods.
