Do you know how many St Kitts Nevis beaches there are or where these sandy nooks are located? What about the number of bays located on the beautiful Caribbean island of St Kitts "Sugar City", or its sister island of Nevis, "Queen of the Caribees"? Do you know which beaches offer a tranquil escape, excellent snorkelling or exciting shore and water sport activities?

Can you name all of the beaches and do you know which of these are world famous and why? Did you know that some St Kitts Nevis beaches have soft, golden sand while others have grey/black sand? Which beaches are popular nesting sites for marine turtles such as the leatherback, hawksbill and green sea turtle or are ideal for whale and bird watching?
Yes, these are but some of the questions I recently reflected on as I sat on my porch overlooking Camps Bay, while enjoying the breathtaking view of the wide expanse of the Caribbean Sea, with Nevis in the distance. Then it suddenly dawned on me how much St Kitts Nevis beaches offer, that I can share with you from the unique perspective of one who has walked the shores, swam in the waters, picnicked and partied on the sandy coastline and at times just relaxed and enjoyed the calm and soothing surroundings.
As a native of St Kitts, I grew up in the south eastern section of Basseterre, the capital city, where the closest beach was a mere 120 meters away. Since the beach was just a stone throw away, swimming, collecting sea shells, catching crabs, digging in the sand for scuttle and fishing along the bay shore were common activities during my childhood years. On public holidays and during the summertime, my family organized beach picnics at Frigate Bay, one of the most popular of all St Kitts Nevis beaches. Summer was also the time when we would pick sea grapes along the North Frigate Bay beach on St Kitts' Atlantic coastline.
