Martinique — North

Anchorages in Martinique North

Saint-Pierre Roadstead (20+ wrecks from the 1902 Mount Pelée eruption), the wild north coast at Anse du Céron and Grand'Rivière, Columbus's 1502 landing at Le Carbet, and the extraordinary Fonds Blancs white sand banks at Le François on the Atlantic coast.

North coast — weather-window anchorages; wreck dive zones protected

North coast anchorages (Le Prêcheur, Grand'Rivière, Anse du Céron) are weather-window stops only — NW groundswells make these bays dangerous; settled conditions essential. Saint-Pierre: wreck sites legally protected under French maritime law — no anchoring on wreck debris or in marked dive zones. Atlantic coast (Le Robert, Le François): approach via buoyed channel only — confirm waypoints from SHOM chart. No anchoring on coral or seagrass throughout — fines up to €22,500.
