For family vacations, it's really an ideal place: here no big waves, shallow water, and a few cottages and rentals on the back.
Indeed, it is at the end of this beach that the "Club Med" of Martinique was installed... ...or at least, "was installed," because it has been closed for renovations for over a year (in 2005).
This closure, for an indefinite period, reflects the general trend of tourism in Martinique, which, after a significant "Boom" in the 1980s and 1990s, is experiencing a noticeable decline: -30% between 1998 and 2002.
Note: Club Med "Les Boucaniers" reopened in the summer of 2006 after a year and a half of renovations.
