Introducing Portsmouth
Dominica’s second-largest town sits on Prince Rupert Bay. The bay is a favorite with the sail boat set and there’s an occasional mega-yacht lurking in the distance. Cabrits National Park, on the north side of town and Indian River, to the south, are the area’s noteworthy attractions. Beside the two main sights, Portsmouth is a nice spot for whale-watching and dive excursions. The town center doesn’t have much to offer other than some basic shopping, and the place gets downright ominous at night. Ross University School of Medicine, just south of town, attracts a lot of international students, who add a cosmopolitan flavor.
