St. Kitts is in the Eastern Caribbean, south of St. Martin, west of Antigua, and north of Nevis. The island is 23 miles long with an area of 68 square miles, and a population of 35,000. A mountain range, including the dormant volcano Mt. Liamuiga, covers the central part of the island. Dense, tropical rain forests near the summit contrast with cultivated, fertile valleys below.

Activities in St. Kitts include golf, scuba diving and snorkeling in the clear waters, playing the machines and tables at the casino, exploring the beauty of the rain forests, or beachcombing along the miles of sandy beaches.

Special attractions in St. Kitts are Brimstone Hill, a thirty-eight acre stronghold established in the 1690's. This Gibraltar of the West Indies has been restored and citadel contains a museum, displaying uniforms and weapons alongside the history of the island.

On the drive from Brimstone Hill toward Romney Manor Batik factory, are well preserved, pre-Columbian rock carvings. These deeply cut petroglyphs found on rocks were carved by the Carib Indians who inhabited the island before the arrival of the Europeans.

St. Kitts is reached by scheduled airline flights from San Juan, St. Martin, or Antigua. From December to April, direct charter flights are available from Boston, Chicago and DetroitWhy Discover Snorkeling?
