Martinique Attractions & ActivitiesBeaches
Site of some of the Caribbean's – and the world's – most beautiful beaches, Martinique is an island paradise of the highest order. From the relative solitude of Diamont and Plage des Salines to the "see and be seen" spots that are Pointe du Bout and Pointe de Marin, beach lovers have plenty of choices. One of the island's more unique treasures, though, is situated north of St-Pierre, where the black sand Anse Céron affords spectacular sunsets and world class snorkeling.

Protected to the south by Grande Anse des Salines, Pointe de Marin is easily one of Martinique's most popular beaches. On any given day, you'll find the white sands littered with towels, umbrellas, and tanning bodies. Pointe de Marin faces west, so the sun hits it longer than it does those beaches on the east coast.

A small peninsula just across the bay from Fort-de-France, Pointe au Bout is the capital city's "shore area," with several small and man-made beaches. Some of Martinique's largest resort hotels are located here – the Meridien, Sofitel Bakoua, Frantour, and Novetel to name a few.
