St. Kitts' Scenic Highway
Discover the Beauty of St. Kitts
Overview
Less than two decades ago, St. Kitts' stunning southeastern peninsula was only reachable by boat. Despite the island’s small size, no roads connected locals and visitors to the untouched beaches of the Atlantic coast. This changed in 1989 with the completion of a remarkable roadway, now known as the Dr. Kennedy Simmonds Highway?"named after the island's first prime minister. This road is a pivotal development in St. Kitts' history, offering a breathtaking route to explore the island’s Caribbean charm.
Beach Paradise
For many Caribbean visitors, beach days are a top priority. On St. Kitts, the finest beaches are on the narrow southeastern peninsula, accessed via the Simmonds Highway. Though these beaches may not be as expansive as those near the capital, Basseterre, they boast powdery sands and stunning vistas. Friars Bay is a notable hotspot, famous for vibrant new developments. Other recommended beaches include Sand Bank Bay, Cockleshell Bay, and Banana Bay, each offering unique beauty.
Exciting Developments
With the Simmonds Highway improving access to the island’s southern tips, exciting developments have emerged. The ambitious Whitegate Development Project includes the Beaumont Park Racetrack and the luxurious Kittian Heights at Dieppe Bay. Future plans promise new restaurants, shops, and tourist experiences. A highlight for families is the upcoming Marine World theme park at South Friars Bay, featuring state-of-the-art aquariums and dolphin encounters.
