First-time visitors to the Caribbean island of St Kitts are likely to be surprised by how much this little island has to offer. Although relatively new to tourism, St Kitts has all the necessary infrastructure in place to offer visitors a luxurious yet very friendly experience. The island has seen a significant number of new developments over the past few years, many of which have been aimed at the luxury market.
It's a great destination for anyone who loves nature, as there are many opportunities to track through the expanding rainforests, and to see the natural flora and fauna of the island. Mount Liamuiga is the highest point on St Kitts, reaching 3,792 feet into the sky. It was formally named Mount Misery and was renamed on Independence Day in 1983, but you'll probably find many older residents still refer to it by its original name. You can climb all the way to the summit, but should hire a local guide.
A more relaxing way to see the island is to hop on the narrow gauge train and take a scenic tour through old sugarcane plantations. It's a great way of seeing the beautiful landscapes as well as learning about the island's history.
Snorkelling and diving enthusiasts will want to visit Bloody Bay Reef which is well-known for its underwater grottoes. Coconut Tree Reef is the place to go for spotting diverse marine life, and then of course there's the Talata shipwreck in Sandy Point Reef. The beaches here are stunning, and one of the nicest is that Frigate Bay, but if you prefer something a little quieter then try Sand Bank Bay.
