Anse Couleuvre is a pristine, remote black sand beach in northern Martinique, celebrated for its wild beauty and lush rainforest backdrop. Access typically requires a rental car and a scenic, winding drive to the trailhead near Le Prêcheur, followed by a moderately steep 15-20 minute hike down to the beach; it is not wheelchair accessible. While visiting the beach can be done solo, longer, more challenging treks like the Grand'Rivière trail might benefit from a guided tour for safety and navigation. There are no seasonal restrictions for the beach itself, but the dry season (December-May) offers the best conditions, as heavy rains during the wet season (June-November) can make roads and trails slippery and increase sea roughage. The visit is generally free, excluding transport costs, with guided hikes incurring an additional fee. A typical visit duration, including the hike, ranges from 2-4 hours for the beach alone, extending to a full day for longer hikes. Crucially, bring all necessities like water, snacks, and sunscreen, as there are no facilities on site, and be mindful of potentially strong currents.
