Popular Activities on St Kitts Beaches

One of the main reasons for visiting such a beautiful Caribbean island is to enjoy the gorgeous beaches. Although a fair amount of your time is bound to be spent just relaxing and maybe doing a bit of swimming, there are lots of beach activities available for those looking to be more active.

Popular watersports include body surfing, water skiing, windsurfing, snorkelling and diving. Some beaches are more suited towards certain activities than others so it's worth doing your research.

In fact it is quite nice, because if you just want to find a quiet spot in which to relax and sunbathe, or want to catch up on a bit of reading then you'll find plenty of choice, especially on the Atlantic side.

The Atlantic facing beaches are also ideal for a pleasant stroll, or you can even try your hand at horseback riding. If you are visiting St Kitts with your family, then many of these beaches are ideal for enjoying a picnic, and you'll find the local supermarket is packed with suitable goodies, but if you don't wish to do this then you'll find plenty of bars and restaurants which would be more than happy to serve you delicious local cuisine and cooling drinks.

The most popular beaches are located around the south-east peninsula, and one of the liveliest is Frigate Bay. If you visit the island in May your find it is full of activity at this time of year, as this is when the St Kitts International ITU Series Triathlon takes place. Competitors get the chance to earn points towards world rankings, and it's certainly a nice place in which to enjoy a relaxing break afterwards.
