About Sandy Point Town, St. Kitts and Nevis
Located on the northwest coast of the island of St. Kitts in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, the town of Sandy Point is an important historical town and tourist destination in the country. This coastal town is known for its magnificent black sand beaches, crystal clear Caribbean waters and rich cultural heritage.
History and Cultural Characteristics
The town of Sandy Point was an important British colonial port in the 17th century and still retains one of the oldest fortifications in the Western Hemisphere, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The Sandy Point Festival, held every June, is a local cultural extravaganza that attracts large numbers of visitors to experience music, dance and traditional cuisine.
Tourism and Economic Highlights
As the centerpiece of St. Kitts' tourism, Sandy Point boasts fine resorts, golf courses and marinas. The economy is dominated by tourism, supplemented by a small amount of agriculture (sugar cane farming) and offshore finance. Conveniently located, the Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw International Airport is only a 10-minute drive from the town center.
Natural and Geographical Features
The township is situated on the back of a volcanic complex and faces Sandy Point Bay, with black sand beaches formed by volcanic minerals. The surrounding waters are suitable for snorkeling and whale watching (January-April), and the neighboring Parrot Bird's Eye View Nature Reserve is a hotspot for eco-tourism. The climate is tropical and maritime, warm and pleasant all year round.
