Basseterre Beach Excursion
St .Kitts Caribbean beaches: from pirate times to private homes
Overview of your Basseterre tour:
From the cruise ship terminal at Port Zante we drive to the Southern part of the island. The government acquired the land at Frigate Bay in 1966 for tourist development. The Royal St. Kitts hotel became the first hotel to be built in 1973. Most of the hotels on the island are located in this area. This area will play a very important part in the present and future development of the tourist industry. The drive takes you to the Caribbean sea where you enjoy two of the best beaches.
We make at least two photo stops either on our way to or from the beach. One of the most visited sites on the island is Sir Timothy Hill. Here you get to see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea separated by under one hundred yards. Also here you see two monkeys on a donkey. We then drive to Cockleshell bay where you can swim and relax in the tranquil Caribbean sun.
