Ilet Chevalier as well as the Salines beach is a little place you must visit when you are in Martinique. This islet located on the coast of the east peninsula of Sainte Anne, protected by the coral reef is a natural paradise as long in length and width.
It can be reached by paying shuttle bus from the Cap Chevalier shoreline in just a few minutes by boat (500 meters). You won't want to miss the shuttles (Taxis du Cap or a few fishermen) on the Cap Chevalier pontoon.
Please note that after 4 PM, access to the islet will be denied. To protect the island's flora and fauna, no visitor may remain on the islet after 6 PM.
During the crossing, you can admire the rocks on the islet. The vegetation on the islet is dense and varied, with coconut palms and cacti. A small, well-trodden path allows you to cross the islet and make the most of its natural beauty.
And what about the beach? A true paradise! Fine white sand and clear, calm turquoise-blue water will leave no one indifferent to this postcard-perfect landscape. For experienced swimmers, it's possible to swim across to Anse Michel beach just opposite.
Unfortunately, the site is affected by the possible presence of sargassum.
To get there, head for the municipality of Sainte-Anne, then follow the signs for "Cap Chevalier". Beware, the unmade road may put you off, but when you see this magnificent landscape, you're bound to be won over!
