Welcome to the municipality of the Carbet, located in the North Caribbean of Martinique. This town enjoys its seaside location to offer many water activities (jet ski, …) and discoveries of marine biodiversity (fishing, dolphins, …). Many restaurants and bars enjoy this seaside with a wonderful sunset at the end of the day. Each week of full moon, you can participate to the fullmoon that takes place in the town. In terms of services, you will also find a gas station, a post office, banks, a pharmacy, a covered market for fish, and a recognized glacier located in the village next to the church.
Finally, in terms of discoveries, you can visit the Habitation Neisson and explore the surrounding area to Saint-Pierre to discover its ruins and starting points for hiking such as the Slave Canal (also called Beauregard Canal).
The Carbet beach is one of the largest beaches on the North Caribbean coast. This black sand cove is ideal for swimming and enjoying a beautiful sunset. It is also the place of the fourth and last landing of Christopher Columbus, June 15, 1502.
Easily accessible by car, you can park near the beach for a walk or enjoy the many restaurants by the sea. Swimming is not supervised on this beach.
I repeat myself but you should stay to enjoy and to observe a beautiful sunset
Itinerary
To access the starting point of the hike, starting from Fort-de-France (count more than one hour of road), take the A1 towards the North of the island (Schoelcher, Case-Pilote). Go through several roundabouts and here you are on the N2. Continue your road and pass the towns of Case-Pilote, Bellefontaine, when you arrive at the town of the Carbet, you will see the sign “the Beach of Coin” (you will be in a corner of the beach where you will find many restaurants), turn left and join the beach. You can choose to go along and find your little piece of paradise a little further.
You will find easily a place to park but not on weekends, the many restaurants are very busy and places can be difficult to find
Carbet’s beach
From the parking space, you will quickly see the Caribbean Sea in front of you.
If you have opted for the beach of the corner, you can admire the stretch of black sand of the beach of Carbet. On this side, generally, many pelicans land on the poles of an old pontoon
