Which Caribbean island is known by the nickname “Nature Island”?

Dominica is the Caribbean island widely known by the nickname “Nature Island.”

The nickname reflects Dominica’s exceptionally lush volcanic landscape, which includes rainforests, rivers, waterfalls, hot springs, and rugged mountains. Much of the island remains less developed than many neighbouring Caribbean destinations, helping preserve its natural environment.

Dominica is home to Morne Trois Pitons National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designated in 1997. The park contains volcanic features including the Boiling Lake, a flooded fumarole that is commonly described as the world’s second-largest hot lake.

Dominica should not be confused with the Dominican Republic, which occupies the eastern part of Hispaniola. Dominica is an independent island country in the Lesser Antilles, between Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south. Its capital is Roseau.
