    Wherever in Dominica it could have been, it is a beautiful sight. Those from Portsmouth should be proud of this scenery.
    Imagine serenely sitting/standing on the beach and looking out into the ocean and at the sail boats.

    OK Folks. It says Purple Turtle beach at Portsmouth.

    It is NOT Mero, NOT Rockaway, NOT Woodfordhill, NOT Boute Sable, NOT Rosalie, NOT even Wotten Waven !!!

    Got that?

    Very lovely spot. I daresay the best beach in Dominica.
