Around The North, Dominica

Displayed:   times.

Dominica's second city is Portsmouth, situated in the north-west of the island on Prince Rupert Bay.

For visitors, the focal point is The Cabrits, a headland on which can be found the remains of the recently restored Fort Shirley. Wander around the headland and you'll probably stumble on old buildings and cannon from the Fort.

Also of note near Portsmouth is the Indian River, where you can take a boat ride up through the mangroves for about a mile. Portsmouth is also home to Ross University Medical School.
