Anse Dufour

Reviewed By CoralReef - Midwest, USA

We enjoyed excellent snorkeling at Anse Dufour. The beach was smallish and rather crowded, but there was a nice sandy entrance to the water, and the snorkeling area was large enough not to feel crowded. Water calmness and clarity were outstanding, and there were many beautiful fish and healthy coral to see. We also enjoyed seeing the pelicans fearlessly fishing right next to the swimmers.
There are plenty of restaurants and other facilites onsite. Parking is not adequate for the popularity of this beach, so be prepared to walk a long way, and/or be very brave about parallel parking on a narrow road. Cars frequently had to back up long distances to allow each other past, so parking can take a while. However, the snorkeling at this beach is well worth a little inconvenience!

Petit Anse

Reviewed By Catherine91011 - Washington DC, District of Columbia

The category is a bit misleading Petit Anse is in Arrondissement of Les Anses d'Arlet NOT Le Marin (about 40 minutes apart). This beach is right near St. Henry Catholic Church.
Overall: Best snorkeling of the trip AND accessible from the beach. Nice pier access for swimming or selfies. Logistics: Parallel parking alongside the beach. If it's full, there is also a large lot as you approach town (about a 5 minute walk to the beach). Beach: Pretty large split by the pier. Lots of food options, bathroom. Shade galore from man-made structures and palm trees. Snorkel: On the right side of the bay there is a rock jutting up - looks like nothing special, but you'll likely see snorkelers around it - it's about a 20 yard swim from shore. Incredible underwater aquarium - puffer fish, tangs, angel fish, squid, and so many more. If you swim past the rocks over the sea grass beds, you'll find sea turtles. We saw three sea turtles on our first drop, and none the second time. This drop rivals Belize in terms of fish variety and density - cannot recommend enough.

St. Henry Catholic Church

Reviewed By Brian D - Denver, Colorado

A perfect photo spot! This church is located directly in line with the pier at Anse d'-Arlet in Martinique. Beautiful church with a rich history. If you have the opportunity to visit this church and take some photos of the surrounding area, you won't be disappointed.

Galerie Couleurs Locales

Reviewed By caitlinnnmaryy - Albany, New York

This is a great stop for local art and souvenirs along the side of the road. Also - there is a juice bar and a nice deck - which makes for a great stop after the beach when you need a break from the sun!

Dlo Ferre

Reviewed By Philippe V

Pour qui reste dans le coin et souhaite s’occuper et suer quelques gouttes.. montée assez raide avant de traverser un paysage herbeux ouvrant de belles vues sur la mer puis descente parfois rocailleuse jusqu a un ponton aménagé expliquant le site. Puis marche sur rocher glissante pour arriver à un oui à l’intérieur duquel l eau est effectivement chaude
Mais bon rien d’exceptionnel et comme il fait chaud il faut prendre de l’eau et de bonnes chaussures !
