From St Maarten to Trinidad, 5 Caribbean Places to Visit in August
Tartane, Martinique The more you explore Martinique, the more you begin to realize that there is a world of sub-destinations in this French Caribbean department. You can spend weeks on end in a single corner of the island and not see everything. And tucked away on a peninsula on the Atlantic coast of Martinique is Tartane, an endlessly endearing beachfront fishing village. It is the epitome of the classic French Caribbean town, meaning you can spend your days with fish lunches and accras and ti’ punch and stops at the beloved old Hardy distillery — and it’s also one of the coolest surf towns in the Caribbean. While villas and rentals are great, Tartane is also home to one of Martinique’s best places to stay, the French Coco hotel.
