Grande Anse Des Salines At the southeastern tip of Martinique, stretching over more than a kilometer, is a perfect Caribbean beach with turquoise water, white sand and coconut palms; it's the ideal tropical setting and is great for bathing. While at Salines we joined with the other beach goers as we swam in the surf, people watched and just plain relaxed in the perfect beach setting. Happily we note it is a protected national park area. Sun, pristine white sand, surf, azure sea, coconut palms swaying in the gentle breeze, yes, Salines has it all. Justifiably it is considered Martinique's best beach.
