Best Beach

[divechick]

If your looking for a great beach that isn"t to crowded try Frigate Bay we did a island tour with robert and ended the day at the beach I told him i wanted something a little off the beaten path so he dropped us at Frigate Bay and came back for us at appointed time. They have a great little bar called the Monkey Bar if you like rum punch try the Monkey Sex the best rum punch I've ever had. Tell the owners Teri and Steve from California said hi.

Off topic but you can snorkel right from south friars bay, i went to frigate bay the first time i was in St. Kitts and IMO South Friars is much nicer, really calm clear water, you walk in and there is one reef you can snorkel at close to the shore, and then you can swim out farther and there is another reef.

We visited Cockleshell Beach...it was great you can acually see where the Sea and Ocean meets. Great food, watersports and drinks. The Banana bus pick-up every other hour and after 2pm every hour. No crowds

The OP mentioned the Monkey Bar... so he was talking about South Friars. North Friars is on the Atlantic side. We are going to South Friars in December - weather permitting ;)

The Monkey Bar is located on South Frigate Beach.

Duh! :rolleyes: That is what I meant to say. Too much time researching beaches in St. Kitts. They are all starting to melt into each other.

Any thoughts on South Friars Beach/Bay? I've read some good reviews online. We are looking for something a little off the beaten path so we can enjoy some quiet time.

 

I've read terrible things about Cockelshell Beach . . any thoughts? Everything I read said it was crowded and dirty.

Has anyone been to Timothy Beach Resort recently? I understand it has free use of pool, beach chairs, towels and is only 3 miles from the port.

We would like to compare Timothy Beach Resort to the Marriott on St. Kitts. Any comparisons??

Ok so South Friars or South Frigate? Which is the better option to just chill out for the day, GOOD drinks and food?

 

We'll have done 3 active excursions on the previous days so will want to just relax. Clear water of course, but we most likely will not snorkel.

The Marriott has a day pass you can purchase. Timothy Beach Resort does not. Both are 10 minutes from the port.

Timothy Beach Resort just asks that you check in at the front desk. You get free use of the pool, chairs and beach. It's right next to Shiggedy Shack.

I think it may have been Shipwreck Bar at South Friars beach?

About $10 per person for cab roundtrip (I think)...
