St Kitts is a relatively small Caribbean island which has a huge amount to offer, and there is a lot to recommend St Kitts over more developed islands. The first thing I love about this beautiful island is its climate. It has a pleasant year round climate, so there isn’t really a bad time to visit. Even when the weather gets really hot, it is tempered by the cooling breezes of the trade winds. The temperature hovers around a comfortable 80 degrees, winter and summer, and the winters are especially pleasant as they tend to be dry. The winter season is generally between November and April, while the summer season is between May and October.
The second thing I love about St Kitts is the abundance of flora and fauna. There is a wide variety of tropical flora including hardwoods and flowers. Common flowers include bougainvillea and hibiscus, while popular varieties of plants and trees include lemon trees, tamarind, white cedar and sweetwood. There are some rare varieties of fauna which can be spotted on St Kitts, but you are almost guaranteed to see the black faced vervet monkey. Marine life is equally exotic, with queen conch, hawksbill turtles and green sea turtles being on most keen observer’s lists.
This brings me on to the next thing I love about the island, and that is the excellent diving. It is a bit of a well-kept secret as it isn’t nearly as well publicised as other better known Caribbean islands, and as such has an abundance of virgin reefs and blissfully un-crowded dive sites. It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced diver, or a complete novice as St Kitts has something for everyone.
