Pointe Borgnèse
Sheltered reef point with easy snorkeling and a richer drop-off.
Good for easy inner-reef dives and snorkel sessions; the outer point is livelier, so plan a calm day if you want the longer route.
About Pointe Borgnèse
Pointe Borgnese is a protected point on Martinique's south coast with a calm inner reef, seagrass beds, sandy patches, and a richer outer edge where the reef drops away. It works well for mixed groups because newer divers can stay in the sheltered water while more experienced divers follow the point for more structure and marine life. Plan for calm weather, keep the outer edge conservative if wind or traffic rises, and treat the site as a relaxed, wildlife-focused reef rather than a deep or technical route.
