Located on the Atlantic coast, Anse Michel is the opinion of some the second most beautiful beach of the island after the Salines. Indeed, bordered by coconut trees, this beach could very well be on the cover of a travel brochure! 

Its clean, clear water, gigantic palms that border, numerous activities will leave a lasting impression. Remember to bring snorkel before coming to observe its rich underwater.

Paradise for windsurfers and kite-surfers, you will also make outings on horseback along the beach. Companies can rent windsurfing windsurfing. You can also go jet skiing.

It is not uncommon to see small hermit crabs in the sand. They are completely harmless and are a protected species on the island.

There are benches and tables for picnics, but if you're planning to eat there, you'll need to bring your own lunch.

There are no restaurants on site. If you prefer peace and quiet, opt for a visit during the week, or at the weekend to enjoy the local, family atmosphere.

Anse Caritan

Anse Caritan is an adorable beach in the town of Sainte-Anne, which is unquestionably worth the detour, especially for hikers. Indeed, the Trace des Caps road will allow you to visit several beaches in the town, including the latter. Anse Caritan is truly a "postcard" beach.

Its blue water, white sand, and coconut palms will leave you breathless. It's a quiet beach, frequented mainly at weekends by Martinique families.

Anse Caritan offers a wide range of activities. In addition to the possibility of hiking the Trace des Caps, you can go scuba diving, canoeing, sea scootering, or visit the water park. There are no restaurants nearby, so be sure to bring your own if you want to spend the day there.

Beware, however, of the manchineel trees that border it. This tree has sap that can cause severe burns, and its fruit is toxic to health. The sap of mancenillia trees was used by the Carib Indians to poison their arrows.

Red signs are displayed in front of and on the trees concerned.

Once you've passed through the village of Sainte-Anne, turn left and follow the signs. You can also get there on the Trace des Caps hike.
