Purple Turtle Beach

Beach · Saint John, Dominica

This long, sheltered beach on Prince Rupert Bay in Portsmouth has lighter golden-brown sand and famously calm, shallow water, making it one of the most family-friendly swimming spots on the island. It looks across the bay toward the green humps of the Cabrits peninsula, and beach bars and boat trips operate along the shore. It is a hub for local events, from boat races to weekend gatherings.
