Anse Charpentier (Charpencaye) - Martinique Anse Charpentier features a powerful right and left reef break over a rocky bottom, ideal for experienced surfers.

This spot is known for its wild atmosphere and stunning scenery, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking adventure. While the waves can be rewarding, caution is advised due to strong currents and sharp rocks. The area is generally empty during the week, with only a few surfers on weekends.

For those looking for variety, a beach break is available on the opposite side of the bay, providing additional options for surf enthusiasts.
