9 Waterfalls in Martinique That You Shouldn't Miss
This Gallic toehold in the Caribbean exudes a distinctly French air, enticingly spiced up by West Indian warmth. Local culture and cuisine combine both influences. The stylish isle is dominated by Mount Pelee, which destroyed the city of St. Pierre in 1902. Black sand beaches and rainforests are found in the north, with yet more beautiful sands to the south. Sights include La Pagerie, birthplace of Napoleon's Empress Josephine, and Diamond Rock, a 600-foot pinnacle, once registered as a British warship.

The beach wasn't crowded and its surroundigs are very interesting - near the beach, there are remainings of an old farm. I also recommend going to the waterfall through the jungle (the footpath starts near the parking lot). You will see lots of lizzards in the jungle, as well as interesting plants (there grow naturally plants that are regarded as houseplants in Europe). The downsides (just FYI): the beach is a little bit far from the parking lot (aprox. 10 minutes walking), there are no restaurants in the area. Driving could be little bit difficult as well, the road is curvy and narrow. But all the positive aspects outweigh these downsides :)

I went to waterfall pretty by accident. My original place to visit was beach, but it was worth it. Hike can be done pretty fast (40min one way) when you are in good shape. Hike is beautiful, but the road can be sometime a little confusing. Just follow well-trodden path and some arrows on the rock and you will be fine. Bring some water, good shoes and dont underestimate tropical climate. You will go in shade but humidity and high temperature will do its work. Waterfall is amazing, water is cool and refreshing. 100% worth of trip. PS: Road to the "parking" lot is just hell, especially when you have rented car as I had.
