The stupendous LES SALINES , 5km south of Ste-Anne, is considered Martinique's best beach with good reason: its pristine white sand trims an azure bay framed by swaying palm trees. The one danger is the poisonous manchineel trees, especially common at the southernmost end; they're marked with splashes of red paint. Should you get bored with sun-worshipping, the sand is backed by a natural salt pond , for which the beach is named, and borders a desolate petrified forest, La Savane des Petrifications ; both make good side-explorations. While the beach has countless snack trucks selling baguettes, crepes and drinks, its facilities aren't spectacular - if possible, don your suit in advance. Camping is permitted on the beach during school holidays. If you don't have your own wheels, you can catch a taxi-commune to Les Salines from the bus station in Ste-Anne; make sure to confirm return times.
