Best beaches on the island

Two islands means twice as many beaches to enjoy! And with their complex volcanic topography, St Kitts and Nevis have both picture-perfect and quirky beaches offering a choice of activities, settings and atmosphere to suit your needs.

From family-friendly calm waters, to bodysurfing and windsurfing havens, snorkelling sites in secluded bays or popular bars in resort spots, black and white sand or rocks, the best way to experience the twin islands' beach life is to simply try them all!
