Purple Turtle Beach

Known as one of Dominica’s most beautiful stretches of white sand, this Caribbean beach lies just three miles north of the town of Portsmouth. Lined with a colorful smattering of beachfront bars and restaurants serving everything from locally caught fish to deep-fried conch fritters, Purple Turtle Beach serves as a relaxing spot for locals and tourists alike.
Visitors can opt to hit the sand for some waterfront fun or grab a mai-tai at the local watering hole. As a beach that is rarely crowded with easy-to-find parking along the coastal road, visitors would be sorry to miss this Dominican slice of pristine beauty.
