Fort-de-France Beach

Although the popular tourist beaches are in the southern part of the island of Martinique (especially Pointe du Bout and Le Trois-lets), the capital has a small beach that's not too crowded. It lies at the foot of Fort San Luis, at one of the ends of the Malecón, from which you can access it directly. It is not very large, but it has fine, golden sand, washed by the clear blue waters of the Caribbean. It has a row of palm trees offering you the perfect spot to relax in the shade.
