IslandDreamers Posted December 23, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hi Everyone! Just wondering of anyone has a beach they would suggest that we visit while in Martinique. We're looking for a fun beach with bar service and if you have prices (taxi, entrance, chair fee - etc) that would be helpful too. Thank you in advance!!

shipknotshore Posted December 31, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Hi there. We, too, will be sailing on the Jewel of the Seas...in Feb. 2015. I have been looking for things to do on Martinique also. I figure if all else fails we will just get off the ship and stroll around for awhile and get back on the ship and have a relaxing day on board. From what I've read it sounds like Anse Migan beach is a favorite and they say there is a bar and several restaurants close by. I think you have to take a ferry to the beach. Ferry runs every 30 minutes. I hope you post on this thread after you return.....I'm curious to know what your thoughts are and what you ended up doing while there. ~Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend (who is also a beach bum) only walked around town. I'm not sure why she didn't venture out to the beach. I think the ferry thing turns people off to the idea. ?? We too are going on Jewel- next week! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets07 Posted January 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi - we took the ferry (right at the cruise port) to Pointe du Bout. There is a beach and hotel there and they rent chairs and have a bar/restaurant over the water. It was easy to get there. There is a small town with some shops, bakeries, etc. It does help to bring some Euros. The ferry accepted Euros or USD, but I think we used Euros for the restaurant. Enjoy!

SailingSal Posted January 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 2, 2015 We were in Martinique last year and took a tour off of the ship. We went on a panoramic coastal drive and spent time at a beach - Pointe Marina. The beach and facilities were dirty and had no chairs or umbrellas to rent. Traffic was terrible. I would not recommend this at all. When we returned to the ship, they gave everyone who complained half of their money back...I have never expected to have money returned after a excursion. Apparently there is always an exception! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is always an exception! I went on the same excursion in 11/13. I felt that the beach was OK, but there was way too much driving and I agree about the traffic. I saw a lot of the island, but I wouldn't recommend this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
