Pointe Borgnèse

Pointe Borgnèse, Protected coastal cape in southern Martinique, France.

Pointe Borgnèse is a coastal cape on Martinique's southern shore at the entrance to Baie du Marin, featuring a white sand beach. Coconut palms and tropical trees line the shoreline, which meets turquoise water and creates small sheltered coves.

The cape lies at the entrance to Baie du Marin, about 3 km from Rivière-Pilote and 26 km south of Fort-de-France. Its slopes rise to a 252 m hill inland, while the seaward side is flat. Remains of the Habitation de la Pointe Borgnèse, including cannon batteries and a lime kiln, stand on the site.

The cape takes its name from the Borgnèse family, who owned the Habitation de la Pointe Borgnèse. The old lime kiln near the beach recalls the estate's lime-burning activity, and the cannon batteries recall its coastal defence role. Local families still use the sheltered coves for weekend picnics.

Access to the beach is via a steep five-minute walk from a parking area along National Route 5 between Sainte-Luce and Marin. The water and beach are best explored during morning and midday hours when the light is clearest.

An underwater trail extends about one kilometer to Anse Figuier, revealing coral formations, seagrass meadows, and marine life at depths between 2 to 5 meters (6 to 16 feet). This submerged area is easily accessible for snorkelers wishing to observe the region's marine world.
