Martinique, between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean

The dry season has just begun on this tropical island where summer is never far away. With sea water at 25° and warm temperatures all year round, Martinique is the ideal destination for all winter chilly people. But the quest for the most beautiful beach turns out to be a headache: on the 300 km of coastline, a hundred coves and coves invite you to swim, dive, surf or simply contemplate.

Volcanic sand, from the eruptions of Mount Pelee, covers the beaches in the north of the island, while the beaches in the south are characterized by light sand from limestone sedimentary rocks.
Lovers of strong waves will prefer the beaches on the Atlantic coast, but beware, in some coves, swimming can be dangerous.

Classified among the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world, the Grande anse des Salines certainly benefits from beautiful white sand but also from high attendance on weekends and "crab fishermen" who rather go fishing for your belongings. ... But hey, just be careful.
