On Caribbean holidays to St Kitts, relax on the white-sand beaches and bathe in the calm waters that ring the island. Then head inland to discover St Kitts' dormant volcano, lush rainforest and waterfall. If you are interested in this destination then stay with us for some detailed information about this jewel in the Caribbean.
The best beach resorts in St Kitts: In our opinion, Frigate Bay South is the most popular and best beach in St Kitts outside of the beaches on the Southeast Peninsula. This Caribbean beach has a long stretch of golden sand and the waters are mostly calm. There are beach bars (including Mr X Shiggidy Shack Bar & Grill and Monkey Bar) and restaurants (Dolce Cabana and Sunset Cafe) that sell a variety of cold drinks and mouth watering foods.
Getting Around St Kitts: Car hire, scooters and moped rentals are the way to go but if you prefer you can take taxis. Taxis are not metered, and fixed rates are posted in airport and ferry terminals. Many taxi drivers also act as guides and offer island tours for reasonable prices. Tourist booklets available on the islands can give you more information regarding fares and schedules for both taxis and buses.
Places to see: We highly recommend a tour of the Capital BASSETERRE. Basseterre town is going through its share of inevitable modernization while trying to hold on to the past through its buildings, public squares, and the efforts of the business community to maintain some historic authenticity.
Weather in St Kitts: The climate of St.Kitts is hot and tropical; average temperatures vary between 25C and 27C across the year, while rainfall is possible at any time but most likely between July and November. Obviously hurricane season is the least popular time for tourists (May till November), but this can make it more appealing to some as there are fewer crowds and cheaper prices. The number and strength of hurricanes varies a great deal year to year and many years the island is spared from any hurricanes
Safety Issues: You should note that there are severe penalties for all drug offences. Pack all luggage yourself and do not carry anything through customs for anyone else. You should be aware that it is an offence for anyone, including children, to dress in camouflage clothing.
