Portsmouth is situated in the largest and most beautiful bay on the island of Dominica. The island is renowned for its yacht marina and the production of the traditional fishing boats. The English originally intended Portsmouth to be the capital, but after malaria broke out in the town in 1760, Roseau was chosen instead. Since Dominica is still for the most part untouched, it has a truly unique natural landscape. With 360 rivers, waterfalls, mountains up to 1600m high, rainforest, beaches and an intact underwater world, there is something for everyone here. The island's volcanic origins have left unique features such as the boiling sea, sulphur springs, thermal springs, mineral springs and sub-marine gas springs. The bay has also been referred to as the world's biggest jacuzzi!
