Saint-Pierre and Martinique's north Caribbean coast

North of Fort-de-France the lee coast runs along the slopes of Mount Pelée: Schoelcher, Case-Pilote and its small harbour, Bellefontaine, then the Carbet bays and Anse Turin. Saint-Pierre is 10 miles from Fort-de-France. The town destroyed by the eruption of 8 May 1902 still has the wrecks of the ships sunk that day on the floor of its roadstead. Visitors take a buoy in the mooring zone, as anchoring is not allowed there: call the harbour office on channel 9 before coming in, it also handles clearance. Further on lie Le Prêcheur and Anse Céron, then Anse Couleuvre, where the road ends.
