Bois d'Inde
Bois d'Inde is a volcanic peak located at the southern tip of Dominica, reaching an elevation of approximately 379 meters. Travelers visit this site primarily for the vantage point it provides over the surrounding landscape and the coastline. It serves as a prominent geographical landmark that is clearly visible from the Grand Bay area.
