Anse Dufour
Les Anses-d’Arlet, Martinique, 97217
Anse Dufour earns its place because it is one of Martinique’s most attractive small beaches for snorkelling, and the official tourism board explicitly describes it as relatively uncrowded with a beautiful underwater world. In practical terms, that means this is not just a postcard stop: it is a place where visitors can actually swim, linger, and observe marine life rather than simply pass through. Its proximity to Anse Noire also makes the area a rewarding two-beach outing. It is best for travellers who want a beach day with more to do than sunbathing. The scale is intimate, the setting is scenic, and the snorkelling reputation is strong enough to justify the detour. Because it is a small cove rather than a developed resort beach, it feels more personal and less commercialised than some of the island’s busier southern strands.
