My favourite places to visit on St Kitts

St Kitts obviously has beautiful beaches, and it's well worth spending some time exploring and relaxing on some of the dramatically beautiful black beaches in the north of the island and the picture perfect golden sands in the south, but there's so much more to do and see.

There are lots of historic sites to visit including the largest fortress in the eastern Caribbean and beautifully restored plantation houses. Visiting some of these attractions will give you a very good idea as to what life may have been like in during the colonial period. For an even earlier view of this island history why not visit the petroglyphs which give a fascinating glimpse of life before European settlers. Independence Square which is located in the capital city of Basseterre is an excellent way to learn about the slave trade which used to exist on St Kitts.

If you don't particularly like looking round old buildings and then another excellent way to get to know this pretty island is to explore the shores and to enjoy the peace and tranquility offered. St Kitts is being carefully developed to make sure that it doesn't become overcrowded, so you'll always be sure to find that perfect desert island beach. If you enjoy nature then you'll love this island as it has a wide variety of birds that are lucky enough to call St Kitts home.

Those visitors seeking a little nightlife may be interested to know that there are a couple of excellent casinos on the island, so if you are feeling lucky then why not give them a go. There are lots of options on St Kitts so that people can enjoy an interesting and fun filled holiday.
