Martinique is easily traveled by car. Tourists can choose to rent a car for themselves or take a cab wherever they want to go. Even those travelling to Martinique for the beaches will need a cab to at least get to their hotel in the resort areas or downtown Fort-de-France. For sightseeing, a rental car is the best choice. You can also take a ferry, known as a vedette, to and from marinas on the east coast. Buses are also available, which are marked with a “TC”, that provide transit between popular tourist destinations and Fort-de-France. Unfortunately, these vans are often unreliable because they change routes at passenger requests and fares are hard to agree upon.

Martinique is popular for its beaches and resorts, with all the coasts offering their own unique scenery. Tourists can visit the Mont Pelee volcano to the north or explore the romantic white-sand beaches of the south. Fort-de-France is full of plenty of attractions, including cultural landmarks and historic sites like the Schoelcher Library. The Anse Cafard Slave Memorial facing Diamond Beach is a sight to behold. Habitation Clement offers a plantation, distillery, museum, and heritage site all in one, offering plenty to see and do. St. Louis Cathedral, La Savane Park, and Diamond Beach are always worth a visit for first-timers to the island.
