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.

When to Get There

Turtle Beach is one of the more quiet beaches on the island and never sees dense crowds except in the mornings when the windsurfers and kiteboarders arrive. If you wish to have a meal here, keep in mind the restaurant typically closes around 9:30pm. Come Sunday afternoons to enjoy live music concerts.

Cockleshell Bay

Go to the beach just to the west for a drink at one island’s most famous bars, the laid-back Reggae Bar whose motto is “Island time, rush slowly,” and a menagerie of mascots entertain the guests. There’s Paisley the vervet monkey,xa0 Shamus the goat, and a baleful of friendly stray cats. Sadly, star attraction Wilbur, the 700-pound black pig, who would graciously give admirers autographs, has passed. Pay your respects at his grave next to the bar.
