Latest reviews on Martinique's beaches

Anse Dufour
10 Nikolai Kozlov

This beach is really lovely, possibly the top choice on the southwest side of Martinique. It's important to arrive early though, as parking can be an issue if you don't. You might even spot some turtles while you're here, and it's a great spot to spend a day. Although the beach is on the smaller side, it has a cozy feel to it. Plus, there's a small bistro downstairs if you need to grab anything.
