Practical tips for Martinique
- As a French overseas department, the official currency is the Euro (€); while cards are widely accepted, carry cash for roadside fruit stalls and beach shacks.
- Renting a car is essential for exploring the island beyond resort areas, but be prepared for steep, winding mountain roads and manual transmissions.
- Pack sturdy, water-friendly shoes if you plan to hike the riverbeds and volcanic trails, and heed weather warnings about sudden tropical flash floods.
