Plage de Gros Raisin, Caribbean beach in Sainte-Luce, Martinique.
Gros Raisin is a sandy beach along a curved coastline where trees provide natural shade throughout the day. The shoreline features rock formations that create varied water depths and divide the beach into different sections.
The area contains marks of early settlements with carvings from before European contact, discovered in the surrounding region. These traces suggest the land was inhabited centuries before modern times.
Nearby restaurants serve traditional seafood and local ingredients prepared according to regional recipes passed down through generations. This culinary tradition shows how the community's food reflects its connection to the sea.
The beach is just a short walk from town center and has parking and picnic areas for visitors. Access is easy and direct from the coastal road.
Between the rocks, natural pools form where you can watch tropical fish up close in calm water. These shallow areas let visitors see marine life without going into deeper water.
