This cove is just as well known as its larger sister cove, however it is less frequented. Because its sand line is smaller, many people think they won't find room. However, even if the beach gets crowded, there will always be room to put your towel.
The sea is calm and quite translucent, so you can take your children for a good swimming session. What makes the charm of this small beach? Its fine and blond sand, almost pure white, worthy of a heavenly beach.
The beach of Anse du Petit Macabou is completely surrounded by a dense and diversified vegetation, for a natural look. On the other hand, bad news for the photophobics, there is very little, if any, possibility to get in the shade.
It is true that sometimes a large part of the shoreline is covered with seaweed, coming from the abundant sea grass beds. And even if this can confuse some bathers, these algae are absolutely not toxic. There is no restaurant near the beach, but you will find something to eat in the town.
The beach of Petit Macabou is known because it is the place where the famous hike "La Trace des Caps" starts. It is declared as the most beautiful hike to do in Martinique, because it allows you to visit several wild beaches, accessible only by foot. The hike takes you through the Anse Mitan which is located in the commune of Sainte-Anne. The impressive vegetation is enriched by many tropical varieties, a treat for your eyes.
The city of Le Vauclin in 6 questions
What to do or see in Le Vauclin ?
- The wind power plant of Morne Carrière (the only wind turbines on the island)
- The Mountain of Vauclin and its calvary
- The Pointe Chaudière
- Bust of Louis-Joseph Landa (Market place)
- Pointe Faula and its white bottom. Protected by a coral reef, Pointe Faula is a very popular beach for the Martiniquais because the sandy bottom is barely covered by a few tens of centimeters of water and sinks from the edge to the Fonds Blancs in the middle of the lagoon, making it possible to reach them by walking. Another advantage of this beach is that its water is one of the warmest in the Caribbean.
