Perhaps the most unique of the Caribbean islands, Dominica stands out as a kid-friendly destination for its array of activities, not its beaches (there are very few). Incredibly, you can whale watch here year-round, as Dominica’s deep water attracts an amazing variety of sea life. Wildlife-loving families also can time their visit for some of the best sea turtle viewing opportunities in the world. And with cascading waterfalls, jungle trekking, swimming in thermal hot springs and more, a vacation to Dominica will keep you so busy you won’t even miss the beach. Don’t worry about finding beachfront accommodations; instead, book kid-friendly rainforest lodges.

Behind them stretches a beautiful coastal landscape featuring calm blue-green waters, forested hills and rocky outcroppings, with mountains visible in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.
