Dominica is right in the heart of Hurricane Alley, and the vegetation here is built to withstand it. The last direct hit was 1995, but it was Hurricane David in 1979 that did the most damage - 145mph winds killed 56 people and left 75% of the island homeless.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000001690/61ab9270-1d6e-4389-9f7c-f793a133391b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![I love the windswept trees and bushes lining the eastern coast.

This model village will introduce you to traditional ways of life, including canoe building, cassava processing, basket weaving, calabash carving, and herb collection and preparation. You can also buy lovely handicrafts such as woven Larouma baskets and carved calabash gourds. The highlight for us, though, was a cultural dance performance by members of the Karifuna Cultural Group, whose objective is to revive and maintain the remaining aspects of the Kalinago culture. They even invited us up on to stage to participate. For a more in-depth and hands-on experience, consider a home stay with a local Kalinago family.

Fresh ground manioc is mixed with coconut, sugar and water to form a dense, flat bread similar to a thick pancake. The coconut and sugar add a touch of sweetness that makes this bread addictive. The bakery is over in the Kalinago Territory on the east coast, so it's a bit of a trip if you're staying in Roseau. But if you're visiting the Kalinago Village it's worth a stop, and you can also hit it up on your way to/from the airport. I'm not sure that I pinned it just right, but any of the locals could quickly point it out.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6134389/52ddc717-93f6-4a2a-84c8-f96bde68caaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Castle Bruce - Cities near Atkinson - Places of interest [Castle Bruce](https://expedia.co.uk/Castle-Bruce.dx6134389) - [Mero Beach ](https://expedia.co.uk/Mero-Beach-Mero.d6099902.Attraction) - [Dominica Botanical Gardens ](https://expedia.co.uk/Dominica-Botanical-Gardens-Roseau.d6099888.Attraction) - [Windsor Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Windsor-Park-Roseau.d6099900.Attraction) - [Coconut Beach ](https://expedia.co.uk/Coconut-Beach-Picard.d553248634304791740.Attraction) - [Cathedral of Our Lady of Fair Haven of Roseau ](https://expedia.co.uk/Cathedral-Of-Our-Lady-Of-Fair-Haven-Of-Roseau-Roseau.d6099890.Attraction) - [Cabrits National Park ](https://expedia.co.uk/Cabrits-National-Park-Cabrits.d6099884.Attraction) - [Roseau Ferry Terminal ](https://expedia.co.uk/Bayfront-Ferry-Terminal-Roseau.d553248621572506816.Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
