Plage des Salines (Grande Anse des Salines)

Beach · Sainte-Anne, Martinique

Martinique's most famous beach stretches in a long, gentle curve of white sand at the island's southern tip, shaded by coconut palms and seagrape trees. The water is calm and shallow, which makes it a favourite for families, and locals arrive in numbers for weekend picnics. Snack stands sit behind the shore, and the otherworldly Savane des Pétrifications coastal trail begins just beyond the beach's eastern end.
