Island is completely French. Purchase Euros before arriving. We took the water taxi from the pier to two different beaches. Water taxi is about a 3 minute walk from the ship. Affordable round trip at about 8.00 a person. Once on beaches you can rent chairs and umbrellas. ...
The nicest capital of the islands in my opinion. Cleaner, more modern, friendlier.
No one in your face 'to take a tour' with them.
Martinique more relaxed and far less aggressive. ...
Went to the local beach, it was really lovely, white sands and warm water, I am sure it was on this island that there were little fish in the ocean swimming around you. ...
This island was added to our tour at the last minute due to the hurricane so we did not book an excursion. Once off the boat, the walk to catch the ferry to the beaches was far and it was hot! There was a big line to catch the ferry that we did not wait in because of the heat. Had a great pizza and went back to the boat. ...
Easy ferry ride across to the other island and wonderful beaches. Pet peeve - Lady at the marche refused to sell me a bottle of water with US $ - despite me speaking fluent French. She was insistent on Euros, but did direct me downtown to other shops that do US currency. ...
