A French island in the Caribbean
Martinique is a French overseas department, an island of mountains, rainforest and beaches between Dominica and St Lucia, with about 350,000 people. Its capital is Fort-de-France; its language is French, with Creole spoken everywhere, and its currency is the euro. The north is wet, steep and green, crowned by the volcano of Mount Pelée; the south is drier, with the white beaches and sheltered coves where most visitors stay.
The mountain and the coves
The two cams show the two sides of the island. On the south-west coast, Les Anses-d'Arlet is a fishing village whose church stands right on the sand, with turtles feeding in the bays around it. In the north, Mount Pelée rises above Saint-Pierre, the old capital destroyed by the eruption of 1902; the volcano and the forests of northern Martinique were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2023.
When to watch Martinique
Martinique keeps Atlantic Standard Time all year, four hours behind UTC. The dry season, the carême, runs from about February to April; the rains and the hurricane season come from June to November. The summit of Mount Pelée is often in cloud: clear mornings are the time to see it.
