Sainte Luce

About Sainte Luce

Fishing boats, Creole flavors and quiet coves define Sainte Luce, a relaxed coastal village on Martinique’s southern shore in France.

Anse Corps de Garde offers swimming and shoreline walks, while the coastal path to Anse Mabouyas adds a scenic outing. Trois Rivières Distillery and the Sainte Luce Fish Market bring local rum and seafood into focus, with French and Antillean Creole heard around town.

December through April suits beach days, and five to ten days is a typical stay, with Anse Corps de Garde a convenient area for lodging. Accras de morue and Colombo de poulet anchor the local table.
