La Française Beach

You’re now at the entrance to La Française beach—the only beach right in the heart of downtown Fort-de-France. It may not have the picture-perfect scenery of the island’s more remote paradise beaches, but it does offer a welcome break to relax in the middle of your visit. Located at the dock where shuttles from Trois Îlets arrive, the beach is usually buzzing with life. In the morning, you’ll spot joggers and fitness enthusiasts; in the afternoon, it’s families and children; and in the evening, late swimmers take advantage of the lighting set up around the beach. Choose the time of day that suits you best—or better yet, take the opportunity to cool off right now!
