There are plenty of exotic islands in the Caribbean, but Martinique offers something extraordinary to its visitors, for sure.

I recently had the chance to witness the stunning scenery of this island. Martinique is truly a heaven on Earth. I have visited many islands before, but Martinique surely enhanced my experience.

Following are some of the outstanding reasons why Martinique is the best holiday island to visit:
Experience beach life at its best:
Martinique offers a variety of beaches to its visitors. On the northern coast of the Caribbean, you will find beautiful black sand beaches. The volcanic action explains the black color of sand. Anse Couleuvre and Anse Noire are some of the famous beaches of Martinique. Coconut palms trees surround the crystal-clear freshwater beaches. On the Southern part has the beaches with grey and sandy beaches. Les Salines is famous for white-sand shores. You can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, surfing, and many other activities at the beach. Or I suggest that you can have a really good massage and relax under the shady coconut palms and regain your energy. Don’t forget to enjoy the delicious seafood of Martinique.

Dig out the history of French West Indies:
The French West Indies is an overseas territory that is officially under the French Republic. It is believed that Christopher Columbus discovered Martinique in 1502. Indians inhabited the region. The period of colonization started in the 17th century. However, in 1815, the French Revolution took place, and the island officially became a part of the French Republic in 1946.
The town of Fort-de-France is filled with beautiful sights. There is a very magnificent library, Schoelcher Library, which was constructed in 1889. The library owes its name to the famous French leader, Victor Schoelcher. The library stands beautifully as an emblem of Martinique’s rich history. The locals highly suggested visiting this place.
