Anse Dufour

Beach · Les Anses-d'Arlet, Martinique

A small golden-sand cove folded into a working fishing village on the Caribbean coast, with colourful wooden boats drawn up on the beach. The clear, calm water is one of the island's best-loved spots for swimming with green sea turtles, which graze the seagrass just offshore. A short path over the headland leads to the contrasting black sand of Anse Noire next door.
