Anse Bonneville Trinidad: one of the best surf spots in Martinique ! It is the last beach accessible by car on the Caravelle peninsula before the stunning nature reserve of the same name. If you want to surf in Martinique, this spot is the one that will be recommended to you. Facing the Caribbean version of the Atlantic swell, this small hidden beach in the middle of the vegetation is ideal.
If you're with family, the youngest ones can enjoy the sand with safe swims in the shallow natural pools.
Anse Bonneville Martinique: The Wild Caribbean
The Caravelle Peninsula is a 12-kilometer-long nature reserve, a green projection into the Atlantic. Its last beach in the North is nestled amid lush vegetation. It's called Anse Bonneville or "p'tite plage," also known as Anse Dufour (designated by the National Forestry Office).
Locals mostly know it as the "Surfers' Beach." Here, there's no lagoon or calm sea but rather the ruggedness of the Atlantic Ocean, its waves, its reef under the trade winds. Pure bliss!
Bonneville Beach: Surfing Paradise
The Surfers' Beach hasn't earned its name in vain, and surfing enthusiasts revel here all year round in the waves that crash onto the shallows near the coast. The waves explode into white foam on the reef just meters from the beach. With the greenery of the forest as the backdrop along the coast, it's wild and magnificent.
A surf school offers a safe environment for beginners or equipment rentals. Our advice: if you're experienced, head directly to the left side of the beach, which is more exposed.
If you're a beginner or just want to swim, this beach in Martinique is less crowded and "gentler" on the right side, with its shallow natural pools, a spot for kids. The small beach also has parking and a beautiful picnic area under the trees.
To diversify your enjoyment and relish the lush nature alongside the waves, head to Anse Bonneville.
