Cockleshell or South Friars

[nancycara]

Looking for a beautiful, quiet beach. Which one should I go to? Is there any problem getting a taxi to pick you up from either one? Thought then we would go to Ballahoo for some conch before heading back to the ship.

I vote for Cockleshell Beach too! Gorgeous view of Nevis, and an amazing open air beach bar. Wish I were going back there soon...

Liz mentioned the famouse Lion's punch. Do you know what the Lion's punch is made of? If not can someone give a discription of how it tastes?

We will be arriving in St Kitts In March Aboard the Crown Princess. This will be our 3rd time to St. Kitts. On our previous stops we have enjoyed South Friars and the $1 Caribes, This is our favorite beach. Does anyone know if the construction is still going on for the dolphin encounter and how does Cockleshell compare to South Friars. Thank You For Your Comments

There are 2 couples in our group looking for something fun to do on 3/19. I tried to book island tours with 2 very promoted guides from this site, but both are booked. This late, I think we will run into this at all ports the Crown Princess will visit. The Lion Bar & Grill does sound good as a option. Does the beach offer good snorkeling or other water sports? And are taxis easy to catch to and from? How much per person each way should we pay? Thanks

hey Tomstur we are on the same cruise, 8 weeks from Saturday!

 

Thank You Liz, I will be sure to watch for the "Green Flash" with drink in hand.

Your the one that beat me to all the good excursion guides!!! Just kidding. 2 couples in my group from Memphis, TN. Can't wait. Never sailed Princess. Pick us up on your way over Memphis!

We are mostly doing our own thing, Enjoy Beaches & Bars. Third time on princess Should be a great cruise. just my Wife and I.

[tomstur]

Beaches and Bars sound great to us too! In fact, we are leaning toward heading to Cockleshell beach and hang out there and at Lion's bar and grill. Must try some of that Lion juice I read about!

[tomstur]

That is just what we shall do! I will tell him you said hello!

Liz, I have been reading about noseeums (bugs) on some of the other islands. Is there a problem on any of these beaches? Thanks!

My husband and I went there on our Princess cruise in December, there were no taxi's available for pickup, so arrange your own. This a beautiful beach, off the beaten path, our excursion was the only one there. Word of warning, the bar doesn't open until about 11, and there are no facilities, unless you count the ocean! There are great views of Nevis, and surrounding areas but not a lot of shade. The drive to the beach is almost worth the trip.
