Medical
Health services and medical facilities on Martinique are of a similar standard to those in metropolitan France, in that they are both modern and comprehensive. There are 20 hospitals and clinics with specialists in most branches of medicine. In the case of a medical emergency contact your hotel to begin with, or the Hôpital Pierre Zobda Quitman, 97232 Lamentin, t 75 15 15.
There are no vaccination requirements to enter Martinique or any significant health risks. The main danger to tourists comes from overexposure to the sun so make sure you use adequate SPF protection and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Insect bites may be a problem so make sure to wear mosquito repellent. |

Nudity
Unlike the rest of the Caribbean, where it is mostly illegal and frowned upon, toplessness is perfectly acceptable on the beaches on Martinique. There are no official nude beaches on the island other than a clothing optional area at the Club Med. Swimwear and revealing clothing however should be reserved for the beach and you are asked to cover up when in the towns. |
