Top Beaches in St. Kitts

Despite its diminutive measurements, this Caribbean island has an array of beaches to choose from. Here are a few of the best beaches on St. Kitts.

How to Get There

Berkeley Memorial is located at the Circus in the center of Basseterre, which is on the west coast of St. Kitts. From Port Zante, where cruise ships dock, the clock tower is a block away. Drive or take a taxi to get around, as it is not in the safest section of town. If exploring the rest of the island, take the St. Kitts Scenic Railway.

When to Get There

The memorial is a public space. St. Kitts’ peak season runs from December to April, during which time the biggest event of the year, National Carnival (also known as Sugar Mas), ignites the island in the run up to Christmas and New Year. For a more quiet time, visit between May and July when crowds dwindle and temperatures are not as hot and humid. During hurricane season, July to November, there may be limited ships and ferries.
