Fodor's Expert Review Morne Aux Diables

This peak rises 2,826 feet above sea level and slopes down to Toucari and Douglas bays and long stretches of dark-sand beach on the north side of the island. To reach it, take the road along the Caribbean coast. It twists by coconut, cocoa, and banana groves, past fern-festooned embankments, over rivers, and into villages where brightly painted shanties are almost as colorful as all the flora and fauna.
