Pointe du Bout

  • Address: Pointe du Bout, Les Trois-Ilets, 97229

Fodor's Review:

The beaches here are small, man-made, and lined with resorts, including the Hotel Bakoua. Each little strip is associated with its resident hotel, and security guards and closed gates make access difficult. However, if you take a left across from the main pedestrian entrance to the marina—between the taxi stand and the former Kalenda Hotel—then go left again, you will reach the beach for Hotel Bakoua which has especially nice facilities and several options for lunch and drinks. If things are quiet—particularly during the week—one of the beach boys may rent you a chaise; otherwise, just plop your beach towel down, face forward, and enjoy the delightful view of the Fort-de-France skyline. The water is dead calm and quite shallow, but it eventually drops off if you swim out a bit.
