Restaurants that the Le Marin tourist board recommends include: Mango Bay, Chez Lucie, Zanzibar Restaurant and Wendie’s. Restaurants which are placed in more quiet areas often tend to serve higher-quality food rather than the restaurants which are found in touristy areas. The bars and cafes along the marina or by the beaches are excellent stop-offs if in need of a quick beverage but try to wander off the beaten track if in search of more authentic, local cuisine. Prices will be cheaper too. If you’d rather eat aboard your luxury sailboat charter in Le Marin, there are plenty of markets which serve a selection of local produce and fresh fruit and vegetables.

The wind in the Antilles archipelago is strong and regular which means that activities like kitesurfing or windsurfing are great activities to carry out. For those who have never tried kitesurfing before, it is best to start in bays which are protected from wind and offer more shelter. This means you can get used to the sport in total safety and grow your confidence. For more experienced kite surfers, you can venture to Fort-de-France, Fort Trabaud, Diamant or Cap Chevalier if you wish to face more challenging currents.
