Located on Martinique's south Atlantic coast, Anse Trabaud is not very popular due to its difficult access. In fact, there is no real road to get there.
Stretching for over a kilometer, this coral sand beach is often battered by waves, making it a popular spot for bodyboarders and surfers.
Most of the time, the current is weak and the waves safe for children.
Creepers known as railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) litter the seashore, protecting the ecosystem and providing a home for various species of crab and hermit crab, a protected species on the island. Further out, the abundant vegetation plays an essential role in protecting the flora and fauna, as well as counteracting the erosion that affects many of the island's beaches.
It is accessible by road via a private property, at the gate of which you will be asked to pay a €2.50 entrance fee.
Entrance times are from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, with a compulsory exit at 6:00 pm.
In the shade of the small trees lining the beach, a few wooden tables and benches are available for picnics. You can also easily set up a hammock.
To get there, just follow a winding track for a quarter of an hour.
