Basseterre, St. Kitts Shore excursion or independent visit

[Onelove24]

 

Hi. I will be getting on a cruise that visits Basseterre, St. Kitts. Is it safe and easy to explore on our own by grabbing a taxi from the port/cruise terminal? My main interests are visiting the beach in a leisurely way and also taking in some of the city/island highlights. Most tours have very little time at beach so I would rather do an island tour /visit main attractions and visit the beach before or after. Any tours or tour operators you recommend? Which beach do you recommend?

Cabs can give one a whistle stop tour with beach drop off.

The only beach one can recommend on St Kitts is at The Marriott, but they only offer day passes.  Or Sunshine’s on Nevis, but this involves not taking a St Kitts tour.
