Anse Désert

Anse Désert is located next to the Karibea Resort, notably the Résidence Corail, and is frequented mainly by Resort guests. Like its Sainte-Luce counterparts, it offers ideal bathing conditions. Its golden sands and turquoise waters are second to none in the south.

Its great distinction is undoubtedly the many trees lining the beach, which provide pleasant shade for picnics and a more balanced exposure to the sun. What's more, the large boulders have created natural bathtubs that are ideal for children.

Anse Désert is not very popular during the week or even at weekends.

To get there, take the D7 departmental road, then the N5 national road leading to the Sainte-Luce beaches. Then take a dirt road for about 200 meters past Karib Pizza. On-site parking is available.

"Diamond Rock" Beach

Diamond Rock beach is nestled in the heart of a cove overprotected. The beach is equipped with the presence of loungers available for guests. 

You can practice diving or jet-skiing with a rental company on this site.

Fishermen's gum boats bathe in its waters.

This beach is virtually unknown to most of the local population and was often regarded as a hotel beach and then a private beach. However, it is accessible to everyone.

To get there, head to the town of Le Diamant in the direction of the Diamond Rock Hotel or La Cherry. Once you arrive, you will need to complete the rest of the journey on foot.

Grande Anse

Grande Anse beach of Anse d'Arlet is one of the largest beaches in Martinique. It is also a very quiet beach sheltered from the waves. It is very sunny afternoon and a little windy.

The water is very clear and limpid. It has a platform from which we can see very clearly the sand and the rocks in the water. It is very common to see sea stars or other tropical fish. 

A mask and snorkel are recommended to see the seabed fauna. For snorkeling enthusiasts, a 200-metre trail has been set up by the Conservatoire du Littoral near Cap Salomon at the entrance to the bay. If you see starfish, be aware that they are a protected species in Martinique and that it is strictly forbidden to take them from the water and leave with them.

Diving and canoeing activities are available on the beach for a fee.

It is possible to eat thanks to the numerous restaurants and bars present on the spot along the whole length of the beach.

It's a very quiet beach during the week, but much frequented by families living in the area at weekends.

Be prepared for a lively atmosphere at weekends, and it's possible to get a full taste of local life by listening to local music played on the beach by the bathers present. So this beach may leave a different impression if you go during the week or on a weekend or public holiday.
