Pointe Marin

Martinique


Ste-Anne's most popular swimming beach is the long, lovely strand that stretches along the peninsula 800m north of the town center. It's backed by restaurants and bars, and though it can be quite crowded, the beach is long enough that you'll be able to find a quiet spot on most occasions.
