We were there last week. We went to So. Frigate beach, about a 12 minute cab ride ($14). It was isolated and uncrowded), but had several small rustic beach bars with chairs and umbrellas (2 for $10). There was some construction nearby (building a dolphin encounter). The beach was sandy and there was a small reef a little way out. Others reported good snorkelling. Overall, the beach was fine, but not world-class. We weren't disappointed, but will try another beach next time.

Bobnjoyce-

Was the $14 for the cab ride to S. Frigate Bay the total price for two people RT? Was there any feedback from people who went to S. Friar's Bay? (I think they are two separate beaches if I don't have my wires crossed.)

I found this link to taxi rates on St. Kitts. Thought it might be helpful to people.

After our Island tour we went to south frigate bay. The beach was nice but there was only one porta-potty with no door.We will not go to this beach again.We will be in St. Kitts in 01/06 thinking about going to Turtle Beach.How is this beach????????????

South Frigate Bay Beach is the closest to Port Zante. It's US$10 for 1 to 4 persons and $7 per person for 5 or more persons. South Friars Bay is another beach that is not far away. By taxi it's $16 for 1 - 4 persons.

I thought there was Mr. X restaurant and bar at South Frigate Bay. Is there not a bathroom in Mr. X's?

 

Is the "one porta potty with no door" you speak off inside Mr. X's?

 

We have been to Turtle Beach it was just ok-we enjoyed seeing the pig, no monkeys the day we were there, tons of sea weed.

 

Want to try S. Frigate this time.

Mr X Shiggidy Shack Bar and restaurant is at South Frigate Bay beach. THere are bathroom facilities at Mr X. You may to snorkel by the rocks off to the left of Mr X (under the hill).
