The Caribbean islands are casual, so bring light, comfy clothes: a bathing suit, T-shirt and shorts will be your wardrobe. Add long pants or a dress for nights out. A few essentials:
Books and movies can fuel your Caribbean desires. Think James Bond movies: Dr No as Ursula Andress emerges from the water (Jamaica) or Thunderball s Junkanoo parade (the Bahamas). Pirates of the Caribbean , partly shot on St Vincent, captures the regions exciting past. For literary inspiration: The Firm by John Grisham, about financial shenanigans in the Cayman Islands; The Slave Ship: A Human History by Marcus Rediker, looking at the transportation of 12 million Africans to the US and Caribbean during slavery; and Dan Koeppels Banana: The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World , which explores the enormous impact of this ubiquitous fruit.
Includes
A slice of Gallic culture in the Caribbean, Martinique is an overseas dpartement of France. While its noticeably more tropical than the mainland, theres no denying the very French rhythm of life here. This is great for Francophiles, although it can also give rise to Martiniques at times distinctly un-Caribbean air.
Volcanic in origin, the island is a mountainous stunner crowned by the still-smoldering Mont Pele, which wiped out Martiniques former capital of St-Pierre in 1902. Long luscious beaches, great diving and giant mountains covered in tropical forests are the main attractions here.
Far more developed than much of the Caribbean, Martinique suffers from uncontrolled urban sprawl in some places, particularly in and around the busy capital, Fort-de-France. Those wanting to avoid the modern worlds encroachment should head to the beautiful beaches of the south or to the mountains of the islands remote north.
Martinique enjoys a year-round tropical climate, but it is most popular during the dry season, from December to May. This high season can see the island crowded with French holiday makers, and hotel costs are at a premium. The rainy season begins in June and continues until the end of November, with heavy showers most days. September is the rainiest month and, along with August, is most prone to hurricanes these are, perhaps, the better times to avoid Martinique.
