St Kitts has an abundance of absolutely gorgeous beaches, and most people visiting the island do so because they are hoping to spend at least part of their holiday on the beach. There are beaches for every occasion, and while those on the south of the island are beautiful white sand, those further north become progressively darker due to the islands of volcanic history.
One of the most popular beaches is Friars Bay which is on the Caribbean side. The water is very calm and ideal for swimming. It's a very popular beach and the atmosphere can get pretty lively.
Those who enjoy surfing should head to North Frigate Bay which is on the Atlantic side of the island. It's perfect for just relaxing and windsurfing and surfing, and some of the major hotels are located on this beach. South Frigate Bay is just a short walk away on the Caribbean side so the sea is slightly calmer here, and perfect for swimming and numerous other watersports. It's also one of the liveliest beaches on the island.
If you simply want to get away from it all then head to Sandy Bank which is a relatively sheltered Atlantic beach. It's very quiet and private as there are no restaurants or watersports available. Another quiet, beautiful beach is Banana Bay which is right on the tip of the south-east peninsula.
It's perhaps the classic Caribbean beach with pristine waters and coconut trees, and is blissfully quiet. Those new to diving and snorkelling will probably appreciate Pump Bay which is perfect for beginners. This beautiful black sandy beach lies in the shadow of Brimstone Hill Fortress. St Kitts has a beach for every level of activity, or even inactivity.
