Families can't stay away from Les Salines beach in the village of Ste-Anne for several reasons. One, the clear waters here are calm enough for children to play freely. Two, there are plenty of food vendors walking the sand hawking tasty Martiniquais treats. Three, there are restrooms and accessible showers to rinse your little ones off before making the trip back to the hotel. Four, Les Salines is absolutely breathtaking, with miles of palm trees and glistening sand. If you want to witness all Les Salines has to offer without the little kiddies around, visit the beach during the week or later in the afternoon when the crowds have mostly gone home.

Recent visitors also recommended indulging in the coco ice cream that is sold on the beach. Keep in mind that because the beach gets very crowded on the weekends and parking is at a premium, you should plan an early visit. You can also take a cab (prices fluctate); the closest town to Les Salines is Ste-Anne, about 1.5 miles away from the shore.
