The Côte des Arcadins is a stretch of Haiti's Caribbean coast north of Port-au-Prince, with sheltered, shallow water and a string of beach hotels that have long been a weekend retreat for Haitians and expatriates. Coral gardens lie close to shore, and the sea is calm for swimming and snorkeling.

Where to stay

The properties along the coast are beach hotels rather than classic boutiques. One is a museum-hotel on one of the better beaches, with a museum about Haiti's sugar-cane history. Another beach hotel is known for employing local residents, and a third has updated rooms, a small sandy beach and water trampolines.

Good to know

The coast is reached by road from the capital, which is the main difficulty in the current security situation. Check official travel advice and confirm with each hotel that it is open and how guests are getting there. Details in this guide may be out of date.
