Brimstone & Beach

[boilermom]

I will be in St. Kitts from 12pm - 6pm. Is it possible to see Brimstone and then have some time at a nice beach? I would like to go to Lion(?) beach and then Ziggy's - should I book ahead or just wing it w/ a taxi when we get there?thanks in advance

You might be cutting it close. Depends how long you spend at Brimstone Hill and the beach.

 

Lion's Beach Bar on Cockleshell and Ziggy's on South Frigate Bay http://www.ziggysbeachbar.com are excellent choices. I would suggest one or the other (not enough time to see both). You get to South Frigate Bay before Cockleshell. Cockleshell is a quieter beach as well. South Frigate Bay has a water sports centre.

 

You will find lots of taxi drivers at Port Zante or near The Circus. You can also e-mail your preferred taxi driver directly and have everything pre-arranged. I recommend Thenford Grey. http://*****

Thanks Liz - I knew you'd come through - we don't want to spend a lot of time at Brimstone - just to see it - how far away is that from the beaches and are they near each other - thx

For a map of St. Kitts visit http://www.skyviews.com/stkitts/stkittsmap.html Most of the beaches are located in the Frigate Bay area and southeast peninsula. South Frigate Bay & South Friars are close to each other.

 

I suggest you make arrangements prior to arrival in St. Kitts. Port Zante can get very busy when a cruise ship is in port, and you don't want to waste time negotiating with a taxi driver. Have everything pre-arranged for a taxi driver (price, routing, pick up and drop time) Taxi drivers usually are holding a sign with your name on it.

 

Another taxi driver is Sackville Grey. http://www.sackvillegrey.com

 

Enjoy your day in St. Kitts! :)
