This picturesque commune in the extreme south of the island offers Martinique its most beautiful beaches... White sand, turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, coconut palms... Whether they're called : Baie des Anglais, Cap Chevalier, Anse Caritan, Pointe Marin, Anse Trabaud, and so on. they look straight out of a postcard.
La Grande Anse des Salines, 3 km beach, perfect arc of a circle, is the best-known and certainly one of the most beautiful in the West Indies.
Beyond the pointe des Salines stretches la Savane des Pétrifications. A remnant of a forest swallowed up by lava, this arid, deserted expanse was once littered with silicified woods, agates, blocks of polychrome jasper, now gone.
Beaches and water sports are not the only assets of Sainte-Anne, which also offers pleasant hikes or walks: la Trace des Caps (from l'Anse Caritan to Baie des Anglais), ascent of Piton Crève-Cœur.
