Anses d'Arlet

Martinique · France

Anses d'Arlet is Martinique's most charming dive village — a postcard fishing community where you can snorkel to the reef directly from the black-sand beach. Underwater, sheltered slopes and meadows of mixed coral and seagrass host exceptional turtle densities: green and hawksbill turtles graze here year-round in numbers that make this one of the Caribbean's most reliable turtle-encounter destinations. The calm, accessible conditions suit all experience levels while offering genuine wildlife interaction.
