Le Marin, Martinique

Le Marin, on the Southern tip of Martinique, boasts a rich history. Visit the Église Saint-Étienne, an 18th-century church overlooking the harbour. For more, explore nearby Fort-de-France and the Schoelcher Library, which highlights Martinique’s cultural evolution.

The town is a haven for food lovers. Try fresh seafood dishes such as grilled lobster, Creole curries, and accras (fried fish fritters).

Extend your stay on the island if you can, and get off the tourist trail. There is some fabulous hiking to be had here. Make the most of your visit- there’s great info on the Martinique tourism website.
