How would I get from Fort de France to Les Salines Beach in Martinique?
I will be arriving via Cruise to the Fort de France port and would like to spend the day at Les Salines beach in the southern part of the island. I was thinking a cab, or maybe renting a moped. Does anyone have any suggestions? How much would a cab cost, etc?
This is the information you need:
Ships dock and anchor in Martinique. They dock at the Passenger Terminal or the new pier at Pointe Simon. The Passenger Terminal is a 5 minute drive to town and Pointe Simon Pier is in the heart of Fort-de-France. If your ship tenders, the tender pier is also right in town. Taxis are readily available at all piers. Martinique’s cabs must be metered by law and be aware that during the hours of 7pm to 6 am, a 40% surcharge is added to the normal day fare. Cabs can be hired for by the hour and will cost about $25 per hour for 4 passengers. If you are adventurous, you can take one of the taxis collectifs (privately owned minivans) that depart from the parking lot of Pointe Simon. A one fare from Fort-de-France to Ste.-Anne will cost about $5-$6 US. Be advised, these vehicles can get a bit crowded and the ride can often be a bumpy, harrowing traffic experience, however. Rental car agencies are plentiful and renting a car is perhaps the best way to tour the island on your own. Walking from the cruise terminal is very safe and takes about 15 minutes to the downtown area.
