Le Marin is an important seaside town in the southwestern part of the French overseas department of Martinique, about 30 kilometers south of Fort-de-France. As a natural deep-water port in the Caribbean, Le Marin has the largest marina in Martinique and is a famous hub for nautical tourism.
Le Marin is located on the southwest coast of Martinique, facing the Caribbean Sea and backed by lush hills. The climate is tropical and maritime, warm and humid all year round, with an average temperature between 25 and 30°C. The rainy season is concentrated between June and October.
The local economy is centered on tourism and nautical services, with a marina that can moor over 800 yachts. The town center retains colonial-style buildings such as the Church of St. Etienne, built in the 17th century, and is surrounded by high-quality sandy beaches such as Salina Beach, a popular destination for scuba diving and sea fishing.
Le Marin has a resident population of around 8,000 and is a blend of French and Creole culture. The Saturday morning market has a Caribbean flavor with local spices, handicrafts and tropical fruits, and the annual sailing festival attracts a large number of international tourists.
