If you're a keen hiker, Anse Lévrier is the place for you, as it's only accessible after a walk through the abundant nature of the north of the island. Grab your walking shoes (especially not white ones, as you'll have to wade through mud and small fords to reach it), head for Anse Couleuvre and off you go.
In addition to being a wild, quiet and little-known beach, Anse Lévrier has the island's blackest sand.
railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) have made their home here. They're home to many varieties of crabs and hermit crabs, and birds sometimes wander in looking for food, so if you can, avoid walking on them.
Likewise, if you see mygale spiders (matoutou cliff spiders) on your walk to the site, you can touch them and put them on your hand - they're neither dangerous nor poisonous. However, put them back where you found them, as they don't tolerate all climates or habitats.
On your way there, you'll be able to see a superb panorama of the north of Martinique, and if the sky is clear, catch a glimpse of the island of Dominica to the north of Martinique, so remember to take your camera with you. Even if the walk to get there doesn't require an athletic level, access remains difficult for small children.
What's more, there's a "hole" in the cliff called a blowhole. We strongly advise against swimming in this hole, as in the event of a strong swell, you could be swept down and drown. So be careful!
To get to L'Anse Lévrier from Fort-de-France, take the N2 towards Saint-Pierre, then the D10 towards Le Prêcheur, and continue on the D10 towards Anse Couleuvre until you reach the beach and its small parking lot. Once there, put on your shoes and set off for a 15-20 minute walk to Anse Lévrier.
It's worth noting that this beach can also be seen on the "Anses du Prêcheur" tour (boat tour to visit all Le Prêcheur beach).
