Purple Turtle Beach

Portsmouth, Dominica

Dominica doesn’t require permits to surf-cast or fish from small boats inshore. Hotels often introduce travelers to local fishermen, who welcome tagalongs and then BBQ up the guests’ catch on the beach. Most gravitate to the Caribbean side with its diverse tropical species and narrow island shelf dropping precipitously into deep water. Set your reel or prep your nets for jacks, snapper, or kingfish.
