Martinique is part of the Windward Isles aka Lesser Antilles. It has the Caribbean to its west and the Atlantic to the east. In the north of the island is a lush tropical forest and is perfect for Hiking Canyoning,horseriding and ATVing. The south is that picture postcard destination for beachgoers. Down here you can kitesurf scubadive, jet ski and kayak. A wide range of accommodations are available for all budget types on Martinique. Culturally Martinique has a rich cultural heritage. This can be seen in the many festivals you may be lucky enough to catch. A bunch of the dream team of French footballers have family ties here such as Michael Silvestre Sylvan Wiltord, Henri and Thuram. But personally I keep thinking of bond, James Bond and that furious car and boat chase !
