South Frigate Bay...Close to port with lots of beach bars. You can take a short water taxi ride there.

Bit further away at the southern tip (S. Peninsula) are a few of our favs...Cockleshell and Banana Bay. We have quite a few pics of all in our Webshots photo album.

We were at cockelshell beach last week. Absolutely beautiful. Get there early if you want chairs, filled up in 1 hr. of us arriving. Queen Mary II was also in port. Chairs cost $5. Nice bar and bathroom facilities available. Some were complaining about expense of cab fare - make sure you settle on price before leaving.

Had a great time!

What is a good time to head there and how much is a reasonable amount for the taxi ride?

[TravelingLLK]

We arrived at the beach around 10:30. Lots of chairs to choose from at the time. Around 11:00 larger van loads of people started showing up.

 

Not sure about the cab fare. Heard someone complaining about round trip for $26pp. We had a private tour guide all day and paid $25 pp and he had Subway sandwiches and drink for us.

Did you pick up the private tour guide on the pier or reserve in advance on the internet?

[TravelingLLK]

Internet.

We also were at Cockelshell Bay last week. It is beautiful. I don't know that I would recommend taking a taxi. A mom daghter and child had been dropped off at the beach by a taxi and when they were ready to go back there were no taxis to be found. We booked a tour with Ilva Wallace and had a great time. She is such a nice lady. Ilva took us anywhere we wanted to go. She took us to Brimestone Hill Fortress and the Batik factory(neither were part of our tour) which extended our tour a couple of hours and still charged us the same price. We reserved her over the internet have the info if your interested

Does anyone know if the Turtle Beach Bar is open again yet? We are interested in the monkeys ;)

[paul58]

Not yet. I guess late this Spring. I am sure the monkeys are keeping a low profile at what was Turtle Beach Bar & Grill, no one to feed then.

Boomshakalaka: We would appreciate the contact info for Ilva Wallace, if you wouldn't mind. We'll be in St. Kitts on 2/11. Thanks for your help and input!

I too would be interested in her contact info. That's the way DW and I like to see the islands the first time around.

 

Thanks!

The email address for Ilva Wallace is ilvawallace@yahoo.com She charged us $30 per person. I think you will be happy with her. She is a genuinely a nice person that wants to make sure you have a good time.
