How to organize a vacation in Martinique with a baby?

Martinique is one of the destinations that is perfectly suited for a first trip with a baby. The activities that the island offers are very well suited to a family trip with young or even very young children.

The beach in particular and its wonderful fauna seduce all ages. By taking a few precautions related to the tropical climate, baby should enjoy his vacations in the sun as much as you do !

Introducing baby to the beauties of Martinique

A trip to Martinique is inseparable from the beach. Playing in the sand, taking a dip, looking for shells, watching for sea turtles and other multicolored fish are certainly the activities in Martinique with baby that have the advantage of being both the easiest to set up and the ones that everyone will enjoy the most.

Baby will never be bored at the beach, which is full of activities by nature. You are free to choose different beaches to vary the pleasures during your stay on the island or to make a particular beach the headquarters of your trip. Generally speaking, the beaches in the south are to be preferred when looking for activities in Martinique with baby, because the sea is particularly calm there.

  Many beaches are easily accessible, which you will appreciate if your baby is just starting to walk for example, and to avoid having to carry all your equipment for too long. The beaches of Sainte-Luce, and in particular the Gros Raisin cove, are ideal for taking baby to the water's edge.

However, the beach is not the only activity you can do in Martinique with a baby: don't hesitate to visit the gardens of the island, such as the garden of Balata or the domain of Captain Latouche. No doubt that the colors of the tropical flowers will amaze baby as much as his parents !

What special protections should I expect when I take my baby to Martinique?

If Martinique and its miles of beach are particularly suitable for a stay with baby, a few precautions should be taken so that your vacation goes smoothly. If you are wondering when to go to Martinique with your baby, you should know that the island can be visited all year round and always offers a pleasant climate with temperatures that hardly ever rise above 32°C and rarely fall below 25°C. However, the sunshine is important and baby is fragile.

  In addition to special baby sunscreen, you should also bring loose-fitting clothes that allow baby to breathe but protect him from the sun's rays. Glasses and hat are essential for all your activities in Martinique with baby.

This type of clothing is also very practical to limit mosquito bites, which are less present during the dry season (from December to April approximately). If you can decide when to go to Martinique with your baby, try to favor this period to limit this inconvenience. Always wear loose-fitting but thicker clothes at nightfall, when mosquitoes become particularly active. Don't hesitate to bring a small mosquito net in your luggage that fits in baby beds.
