Cul-de-Sac du Marin

Cul-de-Sac du Marin is a large, sheltered lagoon in the south of Martinique where you can drop anchor in 2–5m over a sand bottom. Note that the north shoreline is now off-limits for private yachts, so stick to the approved zones and keep an anchor alarm running given the busy traffic. The setting is lively, with a massive 600-berth marina tucked deep into the lagoon and the town of Le Marin close at hand for provisioning and exploring.
