A full week in St. Kitts? Yes please. This is the slower, beachier version of my one-day beach-hopping adventure—more time to float, explore, and snack with your toes in the sand. Here’s how to do it right:

Day 1: Arrival, Basseterre Wandering + Frigate Bay Ease-In

Landed, picked up our rental car.
Took a stroll through Basseterre, the island’s colorful capital. Great spot for photos, a little shopping, and grabbing a local snack before heading to the beach.
Then hit Frigate Bay Beach to shake off the travel vibes. Calm, clear water and some top-tier shelling.
Basically floated around until we forgot what time it was.

Day 2: Hilltop Views + Laid-Back Vibes

Quick stop at Timothy Hill Overlook for that epic Atlantic-meets-Caribbean view.
Spent the rest of the day soaking up the sun at South Friars Bay—mellow crowd, beach bars, and a totally chill atmosphere.

Day 3: Off-Roading + Snorkeling at White House Bay

Took our Jeep (seriously, don’t even try this in a regular car) down a rugged road to White House Bay or if you didn’t rent a car you can park by the road and just walk down to the beach.
The walk down is rocky—water shoes are your best friend here—but it’s part of the adventure.
Once we made it, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It’s quiet, rugged, and super peaceful.
Brought our snorkel gear, and it was totally worth it. The water’s really clear, and there are some cool little reef areas near the shoreline where you can spot fish and marine life.
It’s not a guided snorkel spot or anything fancy—just grab your mask, float around, and let the fish come to you.
Spent the rest of the time lounging, listening to the water, and just kind of...being. My suggestion is to bring a picnic with you because there will not be any restaurants nearby.

Day 4: Cruise to Nevis

Swapped road tripping for ocean sailing—**took a catamaran cruise to Nevis**.
Most tours include snorkeling stops, rum punch, and music on the way over.
Chilled at **Pinney’s Beach** once we arrived—super relaxed and beautiful.
Grabbed a bite and walked through the historic streets of **Charlestown** before heading back to St. Kitts with salty hair and zero regrets.

Day 5: Wind + Wonder at Majors Bay

Headed down to Majors Bay, where we were the only ones there (aside from two locals).
The water? Crystal clear. The vibe? Quiet and serene.
There’s this old dock that’s decaying in the water—super moody and kind of beautiful. There’s also some marine life hanging around the posts, which was a cool surprise.
It was really windy when we got there—like, “hold onto your towel” windy—but a local told us it’s usually calm, especially in the afternoon. Still loved it and definitely want to go back on one of those peaceful, glassy-water days.

Day 6: Cockleshell + Beach Massages

Spent the day at Cockleshell Bay, with views of Nevis across the water.
Ate at Spice Mill, which was chef’s kiss. The jerk chicken was spicy and perfect, and the grilled mahi mahi with lemon butter sauce hit that beachside-fine-dining sweet spot.
Got a massage right there on the beach. Not gonna lie—it felt a little ghetto at first, but it ended up being one of the best massages I’ve ever had. She used fresh local aloe instead of regular oil, and it was amazing.

Day 7: Jungle Adventure + One Last Dip

Closed out the trip with a hike through the St. Kitts rainforest.
- Did the Wingfield-Phillips Trail (easy and scenic), but if you’re feeling spicy, go for the Mount Liamuiga hike—it’s a full-blown volcano climb with wild jungle energy and killer views.
Wrapped things up at our favorite beach from the week—just one more float before flying home.
