Snorkeling in Martinique
At the north of the island, Anse Couleuvre and Anse
Ceron are two great snorkeling spots while the
east coast’s Caravelle Peninsula also provides nice
snorkelling opportunities.
In the southwest, Les Anses d’Arlet is considered to be
the best in Martinique and only minutes away from
the Diamond Rock, which is a big rock proudly jutting
out from the middle of the ocean, sparking in the
sunlight - like a diamond. Divers will be pleased to find
a beautiful ecosystem of tropical fish and coral hidden
under the rock. You will also see sea turtles. Before you
leave this area, stay for a while to enjoy the charming
village of Le Diamant.
Other popular snorkeling areas are:
Anse Noire, with its lovely black-sand beach; Anse
Dufour, said to have the prettiest white sandy beaches
on the island, and Anse Figuier, the scenic beach with
coconut palms lining its shore.
Martinique as a snorkelling destination will delight
both the professional and amateur snorkel enthusiast.
