The Sainte-Marie islet is a Martinican islet located on the northeast coast of Martinique, just opposite the city of Sainte-Marie.
The tombolo word of Italian origin designates a sandy arrow which generally connects an island to the mainland.
It results from the action of marine hydrodynamic factors existing for 4 months of the year, mostly from January-February to April-May.
Tourists can walk on the tombolo to reach the islet, where small paths are traced. Trail on the right side of the islet closed from April 1 to August 31 to protect Roseate Terns, a rare species of bird that nests on this part of the islet during this period.
Far from homes and the urban environment, you have what it takes to enjoy a good river bath, known for its invigorating freshness. It is an opportunity for nature lovers to discover an authentic virgin forest with lush vegetation. We often come across hikers who have taken the path that connects the Precheur to Grand-Riviere along the entire north Caribbean coast.
