Martinique like other Caribbean destinations provides a wide range of choices for the water sports-enthusiasts. One can indulge in swimming, snorkeling, water skiing, jet skiing, scuba diving and a lot more. |
For swimming and snorkeling, the best thing to do is to always check locally for the best places to go and explore various areas of the island. Lately the small bays and Sainte-Anne have provided excellent snorkeling experience to the adventure seekers. Some hotels have glass bottom boats for snorkeling trips.

Water skiing and jet skis are also available through many of the beachfront hotels in Pointe-du-Bout as well as in Carbet and Ste. Anne. Many beachfront hotels have windsurfing equipment for use by guests and some offer lessons. |

Rental is generally by the hour. Away from the hotels, there are countless windsurfing havens. Among the best spots is Cap Michel, near Cap Chevalier in the south. Canoeing and kayaking opportunities can be found in the Bellefontaine and Lamentin areas.Scuba divers can avail themselves of fascinating dive sites, ideal water temperatures, abundant marine life and interesting shipwrecks in Martinique. Fine facilities with licensed instructors are available at several locations in the Pointe-du-Bout marina, at Anse Mitan, at Anse d’Arlet and near Fort-de-France.
