Dominica and wheelchairs

[DaisyGoldberg]

The port area is very un-wheelchair friendly, mostly because of cement drainage grates built into the pavement - the openings are wide enough to swallow a wheelchair wheel and they're every few feet.  It's a fairly flat and easy walk out to the area where you can catch a taxi (no such grates there, although the boardwalk is slightly uneven in places), but if you simply want to take in the sights at the end of the pier, be extremely careful.

 

We found most wheelchair folks heading back quickly, having determined the risk of damage to their chair/selves too great to continue.
