Black sand beach

Among the string of islands which stud the Lesser Antilles, near Dominique and Sainte Lucie, Martinique - or Madinina, as the Caribbean Indians call it - deploys its 1100 square kilometres of idyllic landscape between the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea. Beaches of Martinique, flooded with sun, transparent waters, edged with cocconut trees or wild vegetation, posses white sand in the south and black sand in the north.
