How to spend 3 hours?

[perkyblue]

In two weeks, I'll be in St. Kitts for the first time. My excursion will have me back to the ship 3 hours before I need to be back onboard. I like to spend as much time in port as possible, so I don't really want to get back on the ship that early. Does anyone have suggestions for how DH and I can spend 3 hours? Something close to the cruise pier and not too expensive, like a beach or place to grab a drink and a bite to eat? Is there a shopping area to browse around right off the pier?

There's a really nice shopping area on the pier right by the ships. All the regular jewelry, designer things & souvenirs stores.

 

There were several places to eat &/or drink. We had good sandwiches and drinks on a covered porch with a view of the water. Sorry but I don't remember the name.

 

There was a casino there too but we didn't go in.

 

Overall very nice, colorful, "upscale-kinda" shopping area.

Thanks! Good to know that there's some stuff to do right around the pier area.

Check over the spots on your tour. Is the last spot near a beach, so you could just stay there longer, and grab a taxi back? Of course, you must tell the tour people you plan on doing that.
