Awesome yes. Trois iles is a fantastic place! I'd say it's the most touristy spot, and this is peak season. In case you didn't know, Trois ile host the 'higher end' distillery with the same name. I also know Josaphine's (Napolean's wife) house is real close by. I decided to skip out on it, since her house was burned down and apparently most historical artifacts went along with that. However, there is a fantastic, scenic view from her garden that apparently looks out to a part of the island and and beaches. With that said, driving around Martinique you'll see numerous stops where you can take similar picturesque photos, which me and my family did.

My particular favorite beach is actually near Trois-Ile, which I believe is called Anse Céron [I'll have to get back to you with the exact name... it might be another black sand beach] Anyways, it's a little bit of a hike to get to, but I'd park my car before getting the the 'actual parking spot' unless you go early. There's a spot right before all the 'actual' parking where you'll see a bunch of cars parked on the right, parallel there. Anyways, since it's a hike it means there aren't quite all the college/party life there, rather people there just truly enjoying the carribean life... relaxing. Please let me know if you're looking for that party life, I could point you to the other direction.

There are also quite a handful towns to look at, for example a famous one with a great beach is a place called Diamon. They have the biggest school in a town with a selection of many food.. Their beach has a spectacular view of the famous named Diamon island due to it being shaped like a Diamond. Also, it has the roughest waves if that's what you like. Apparently my sister told me their pizza place is top notch, though I've had yet to try it. It's the only named pizza joint on the road that's off the main beach.

THINGS TO BE CAREFUL! Martinique is completely on island time... meaning if you order food at a restaurant, expect an hour or so of a wait. First night there, we waited almost 90 minutes for hour food, though the last night was pretty standard 30-45 minutes. Also, since it's a French colony, be weary that you'll need some Euros [lots of places accept CC] and you'll need a power adapter such as this...and lastly almost everything is closed on a Sunday and on afternoon for nappy/lunch time.

Please PM me if you want some more pictures of this beautiful island. Also if you have anymore questions about what to do, I've barely even skimmed it. I'll try to cater as best as I can depending if you're travelling with your family, friends, and/or SO and how long you're staying.

Enjoy the island life!!!
