Anse Couleuvre, Sheltered cove in northern Martinique, France

Anse Couleuvre is a cove on the north coast of Martinique, in the commune of Le Prêcheur. Its beach of dark grey to black sand runs for a few hundred metres and is split in two by the Anse Couleuvre river. The sand slopes gently to the water and ends at a dense wall of green vegetation and palm trees. The cove faces Îlet la Perle.

Anse Couleuvre lies in the commune of Le Prêcheur, on Martinique's north coast. The sources record no plantation history for the cove itself; its documented status is protection: it forms part of the Réserve naturelle régionale marine du Prêcheur - Albert Falco, named after the French diver Albert Falco.

The cove lies within the Prêcheur - Albert Falco regional marine nature reserve, which protects its waters and shoreline. The Anse Couleuvre river divides the beach in two before reaching the sea, a feature bathers notice when crossing from one half to the other.

Access is by a small road from Anse Céron; the car park holds only about ten spaces, and parking and driving along this road are difficult or impossible for large vehicles in tourist season. A strong current makes swimming dangerous. The cove lies within the Prêcheur - Albert Falco regional marine nature reserve.
