Once a hideaway for corsairs, this peaceful jewel on Martinique’s southern coast is a haven for diving enthusiasts. For those who care to learn more about regional history, the Bernard David Museum is filled with a wealth of pre-Columbian archaeological finds, while nearby Grande Anse offers world-class shores for sun-soaked relaxation. Diamond Rock, from which the town takes its name, towers high above the clear waves, harbouring one of the most spectacular dive spots in the Caribbean. Those who choose to explore beneath the waves will find shallow reefs, colourful coral gardens, and rocky canyons teeming with an abundance of marine flora and fauna.
