Located on Martinique's south Atlantic coast, Anse Trabaud is not very popular due to its difficult access. In fact, there is no real road to get there.

Stretching for over a kilometer, this coral sand beach is often battered by waves, making it a popular spot for bodyboarders and surfers.

Most of the time, the current is weak and the waves safe for children.

Creepers known as railroad vine (Ipomoea pes-caprae) litter the seashore, protecting the ecosystem and providing a home for various species of crab and hermit crab, a protected species on the island. Further out, the abundant vegetation plays an essential role in protecting the flora and fauna, as well as counteracting the erosion that affects many of the island's beaches.

It is accessible by road via a private property, at the gate of which you will be asked to pay a €2.50 entrance fee.

Entrance times are from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, with a compulsory exit at 6:00 pm.

In the shade of the small trees lining the beach, a few wooden tables and benches are available for picnics. You can also easily set up a hammock.

To get there, just follow a winding track for a quarter of an hour.

Anse Caffard beach is a brown sand beach located west of the town and at the foot of Morne Larcher. It is the extension to the west of the town's main beach, Diamant beach.

It is from this Diamant beach that you can best admire the Rocher du Diamant (Diamond Rock).

Many bars and restaurants are set on the sand, which makes it an ideal spot for gourmets who love the sea. The tragedy of slavery in Martinique is represented by the presence of the Slave Memorial facing the sea. It was erected in memory of the sinking of a slave ship which claimed the lives of many slaves in 1830.

Not far from there is another monument also marking the history of Martinique, the Maison du Bagnard.

To get there, head southwest of Martinique, and after entering the town of "Diamant", head towards "Petite Anse beach in Anses d'Arlet".
