Quiet beaches and charming locals
St Kitts is a charming island with picturesque plantation houses, rainforested hills, uncrowded beaches and friendly locals. The island forms a nation along with neighbouring Nevis, which is separated by a 2km channel known locally as ‘the narrows’. For many years sugar and tobacco growing dominated the landscape of St Kitts and while no longer a major contributor to the island's economy, many local people are still employed in its cultivation and processing.
