One day in St Kitts doesn’t seem like enough, but if you persevere you can get a true feel for this beautiful island.
You must see the Brimstone Hill Fortress. If you climb to its top slopes on a clear day, you could see up to six other islands in the distance. Or you could tour the fort’s interior, stroll the grounds and snap pictures of nearby towns in the distance or the Caribbean Sea.
The beaches are beautiful. They are a reason to come visit St Kitts themselves. After you have visited some of the private and secluded beaches, you should make some time to come to Frigate Bay. It buzzes with activity day and night, since it’s located so close to the islands’ best nightlife and shopping, not to mention some of the best hotels.
