Anse Michel
Anse Michel, Cap Chevalier, Sainte Anne, Martinique
Anse Michel at Cap Chevalier is Martinique's most respected wingfoil beach — a sweeping kilometre of white sand on the southeast Atlantic coast with consistent east and southeast trade winds. A coral reef 500 metres offshore creates a wide shallow lagoon, but the conditions here are more technical than Pointe Faula, with scattered coral heads and a slight current near the right side. Alize Fun has been the local school since 1988.
