Cockleshell Bay
The southernmost beach of St. Kitts, separated from Nevis by a narrow strait. Its relaxed beach bars make it the island's best spot for viewing Nevis.
Cockleshell Bay lies at the tip of the Southeast Peninsula and connects with neighboring Banana Bay. Its sand is soft and the water is calm, with Nevis Island and the cloud-wrapped peak of Nevis directly across the water. The famous Reggae Beach Bar offers lounge chairs, snorkeling and kayak rentals. Nearby Majors Bay has a car ferry to Nevis.
