North coast travel guide

The road north passes through the Cap Estate (golf course and the Almond at Smugglers) to Pointe du Cap, a viewpoint some 470 ft high with a splendid panorama along the coast. A good circular walk from Gros Islet can be done to Cas-en-Bas taking the road past La Panache Guesthouse (ask the owner, Henry Augustin for directions if necessary, he is always willing to help) down to the beach, then following tracks north until you reach the golf course, from where you return along the west coast to Gros Islet. Cas-en-Bas beach now has the Cotton Bay resort behind it and the tracks north pass through an area being developed by Cap Estate as a continuation of the golf club, but you will see cacti, wild scenery and Martinique. The sea is too rough to swim.
