Le Diamant sits on the south-western tip of Martinique, facing the rock of the same name, a former volcanic islet rising about 175 metres out at sea. The town stretches along a long sandy beach, overlooked to the west by Morne Larcher. At the entrance to the commune, the Anse Cafard memorial recalls the clandestine wreck of a slave ship in 1830: its fifteen white statues look out to sea.

The best period runs from December to April, outside the hurricane season. The beach is often exposed to swell: swim with care and ask locally. Allow a day for the town, the memorial and the viewpoint over the rock, more for the Morne Larcher hike.
