Emerald Pool, Dominica

It's almost a magic trick to turn a blue body of water into something green and inviting. But the relatively famous Emerald Pool in Dominica does exactly that.

It is located on the edge of Morne Trois Pitons National Park,and it is considered one of the top attractions of the so-called "Nature Island." It takes a few minutes of walking to get there, but the rain forest provides plenty to see on the way. Eventually, the pool pops into view. 

Visitors are allowed to hop in the pool, although it's rather rugged in terms of rocks surrounding the area. Somewhere, an OSHA official is sighing. It might be better viewed from a distance. As you can imagine, it's a popular spot for weddings. Several movies have been filmed there as well. 

The entry fee is about $5 at last look, and you don't need a guide. Just walk somewhat carefully down the trail, and you'll get there. If you don't feel like a trip to the Caribbean, this video will have to do:
