Windward coast black sand beach Dominica
The Commonwealth of Dominica, commonly known as Dominica is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. The name in Latin, means "Sunday", which was the day on which it was discovered by Columbus. Dominica's pre-Columbian name was Wai'tu kubuli, which means "Tall is her body".The indigenous people of the island, the Caribs, have a territory similar to the Indian reserves of North America. Because the island lies between two French overseas departments, Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, and because it was colonized by France for a time, it is sometimes called "French Dominica". However, its official language is English, though a French creole is commonly spoken.
