There are three dozen of them, so obviously I can´t cover them all, but here are just three of the top picks:
Grande Anse les Salines (pictured here), considered one of the Caribbean´s loveliest, is near the island´s southwestern tip, a 45-minute ferry ride from Fort-de-France. It´s famous for its mile and a quarter (two kilometers) of golden sands and calm, crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing.
Anse Céron, up north near the town of Le Prêcheur, is serene and less crowded, known for its black sands (a relative rarity on Martinique), lush, forested backdrop, and seabed great for snorkeling.
Anse Noire down south also boasts black sands, as its name indicates, and it´s set on a peaceful little cove surrounded by swaying coconut palms and towering cliffs (which locals and some visitors jump off!). Besides luxuriating in the tranquil waters, rent a kayak and go snorkeling (giant marine turtles like to hang out around here).
