The main beach in Trois-Îlets is a gorgeous stretch of white sand that shelves gradually into a turquoise sea. The views are of Fort-de-France and the shuttle boats racing to get sunseekers across the bay – it drops them off at a jetty on the beach. A few eateries back the beach and there are more in the streets behind. Anse Mitan attracts holidaying families.
