Martinique's Volcanic Landscape
Mount Pelée and the Pitons du Carbet shape Martinique's mountainous north. The south is generally drier, with gentler terrain and many of the island's best-known beaches.

The north–south contrast is a practical way to plan the island. Around Saint-Pierre, volcanic ground meets the coast and dark sand is common. Farther south, places such as Le Diamant and Les Salines offer a different shoreline. The Caravelle Peninsula gives the Atlantic side its own distinct profile.
What to look for
Mount Pelée rises above Saint-Pierre on the island's northern end.
The Pitons du Carbet form a forested mountain group above the Fort-de-France bay area.
Dark volcanic sands in the north contrast with pale southern beaches.
Useful to know
Treat northern mountain terrain and southern coastal stops as separate areas when planning a day.
