The appeal of this island is much greater than its diminutive size. Known as Madinina (Island of Flowers) by the natives, the land is draped with blossoms from orchids to flamingo flowers. Beautiful sandy beaches ranging in color from crystal white to midnight black and salt and pepper mixes of the two are bordered by the clear, warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Born from a volcanic eruption, fertile Martinique contains lush vegetation, palm beaches, and a varied landscape. The central and northern parts of the island are covered with rolling hills and sharp peaks, while the shorelines are smooth and sandy.
