St. Kitts day spent at Carambola beach club

[cementhands]

We recently sailed to St. Kitts and enjoyed the Carambola beach club. We shared a cab with others for $8 each one way. Paid $30 for 2 chairs and umbrella. Beautiful clean bathroom. Wonderful beach for walking beach to other end the ship wreck bar. Gentle waves and nice water.

Snorkeling reef is right off shore to left facing waterfront. The reef extends all the way down to ship wreck bar. Great snorkeling from beach. Far over to the right is an abandoned bay that used to hold dolphins but the storm washed it out. What remains is a snorkeling area. Very nice quiet calm place for snorkeling.

$10 bottles of wine with a cooler bag. Excellent wine. Buckets of beer and restaurant service.

A very enjoyable place. A few people selling stuff. Not really a bother.

If you want to Snorkel from shore this is a great place to learn. First thing in the morning best.

We got there early so no problem front row chairs. Check out cruise port tt for info on how many ships are in port. Some pre booked chairs and umbrellas for crowded days. Wonderful place for a great beach day.

Thanks.  We will be heading to St. K for the first time in September.  Good information. Appreciate it.  Were you able to grab a cab back easily?

We were there too just two weeks ago. I agree, it's a lovely relaxing place. We pre booked before we went and had front row brand new loungers. Not the wooden beds, the ones we had were very comfortable. Good to have showers and changing rooms just outside the reception/bar area to rinse off the sand. Reception will call a cab for you when you're ready to go. We were lucky, as we went into reception a shared cab had just arrived to pick up four people so we went in it too.

Did you happen to notice what time they opened?  I have reservations but they have not yet responded to my request for their hours.  TIA.

We got there before 10am and weren't the first there.

We told the cab driver a time and he was there. We shared and ride was cheaper. Cabs are usually there or front desk will get you one. Cruise port tt for info on how many ships are in port with you. We’re usually off early. Like the front row. Lovely place great bathrooms.
