This location is ideal to get away. This beautiful, secluded beach is at the very tip of the southeast peninsula and offers pristine waters, soft sand, swaying coconut trees and uninterrupted peace.

COCKLESHELL BAY
(SOUTH EAST PENINSULA)

Cockleshell Bay is 2 miles (3km) of power-white sand. This beach is growing in popularity for its serenity and breathtaking view of the sister isle of Nevis. All this coupled with the newly open Reggae Beach Bar & Grill and Spice Mill restaurants, both ready to cater to ‘beach goers’ after a relaxing swim.

SOUTH FRIARS BAY
(SOUTH EAST PENINSULA)

So called because there once was a Monastery located on the hillsides over looking the beach centuries ago. Today this white sand beach is frequented by locals and visitors. It is also perfect for quiet reflection.

DIEPPE BAY

On the northern part of the island, this beach overlooks the delineation of water where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet. It boasts soft volcanic black sand and is set against a backdrop of gently swaying palms.

SANDY BANK BAY
(SOUTH EAST PENINSULA)

Sandy Bank Bay is below North Friars’ and North Frigate Bay and, rather unusually for the Atlantic side, is relatively sheltered. It is also the model of isolation - a long, crescent-shaped white sand beach, great for a stroll and a swim. No restaurants or bars in sight.

FRIGATE BAY
(NORTH & SOUTH)

This beach was made for a good book, parasol and a cold drink. With loads of water-sports and other beach activities on offer, Frigate Bay, with its sugarcoloured sand, is ideal for swimming as well as windsurfing and water-skiing.
