Sailing to La Trinité

A map of the best ports and anchorages

La Trinité, a region of Martinique

The volcanic origins of the region have blessed La Trinité with some of Martinique’s richest soil. This fertility has been harnessed for centuries, not only for sugar production but also for growing a variety of crops that sustain the island’s local economy. As you drive through the countryside, you’ll pass by fields of bananas, pineapples, and other tropical fruits. The sugarcane fields still line the landscape, and remnants of these plantations can still be found throughout La Trinité’s countryside.

The Caravelle Nature Reserve

At the heart of the region is the spectacular Caravelle Peninsula, a wild and rugged outcrop that juts dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean. The peninsula is one of the most striking natural features of the island, and its landscape is a living, breathing history book. Formed by volcanic activity, its cliffs and rocky outcrops stand testament to Martinique’s turbulent geological past. It’s a place where the wind whips across the land, and the sound of crashing waves fills the air, creating a sense of raw, untamed beauty that feels a world away from the more manicured tourist spots.
