St Kitts has to be one of the most beautiful Caribbean islands to visit, and it's hardly surprising that there are a wide range of outdoors activities available. The mountains are covered in rainforest and it’s very enjoyable to take a hike through the lush vegetation, or even visit Mount Liamuiga which is St Kitts dormant volcano.
If you do want to take a hike in its worth going with a local guide as they are very knowledgeable and are able to identify native plants, local flora and fauna and most also know a lot about the island's history and culture.
Learning which plants are used for medicinal uses and the identity of that bird you just took a photo of can make a trip much more enjoyable. St Kitts is also good for keen golfers, and the beaches are perfect for going horseback riding. Other popular activities revolve around the inviting waters of the Caribbean that are perfect for diving, snorkelling, swimming, sailing and fishing.
The best beaches to be found are around the southern end of the island as they are the classic, picture perfect white sandy beaches. The further north you go the darker the beaches become due to the volcanic origins of the island. The best beaches to visit include Frigate Bay, Friars Bay, Banana Bay, White House Bay and Cockleshell Bay. The beaches on the western side face the Caribbean Sea and tend to be calmer, while those on the eastern side are better for surfing, and are also extremely good for boating.
