This short orientation helps make sense of the island before choosing a base. Fort-de-France is its capital and main urban center; the north is shaped by mountains and forest, while the south offers many of the best-known beach towns. French institutions and Caribbean culture both appear in the places you visit.
Useful to know
Use established French place names on maps, including Fort-de-France and Saint-Pierre.
Plan by region: crossing between northern mountain stops and southern beaches takes more time than the island's size suggests.
