Anse Dufour
A small fishing-village bay with white sand, where sea turtles often forage close to shore. It is Martinique's easiest place to snorkel alongside turtles.
Anse Dufour is a small bay north of Anses d'Arlet. Fishing boats are drawn up on the sand, and a few small restaurants serve fresh grilled fish. The water in the bay is calm and clear, with abundant seagrass on the seabed. Green sea turtles often feed tens of meters offshore, and you can observe them with a snorkel mask. Keep at least several meters away from the turtles, and do not touch or chase them. Avoid sunscreens containing harmful ingredients. From the rocks on the south side of the bay mouth, you can swim to the neighboring Anse Noire. Parking is limited, so arrive early on weekends. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Fort-de-France.
