The strip. This sandy patch along St Kitts’ Frigate Bay is about one thing: having a great time. Fresh local food, Tings with Stings, thumping music — this is the true St Kitts experience. So we thought we’d offer a list of five great bars on the Strip, including the world-famous Mr X’s Shiggidy Shack.
Mr X’s Shiggidy Shack
Long considered one of the best beach bars in the Caribbean, Mr X’s Shiggidy Shack is effectively the headquarters of The Strip. It’s worth a visit on any trip to the twin-island federation.
Vibes Beach Bar
Vibes Beach Bar is the new incarnation of the former Ziggy’s Beach Bar, whose slogan is “Morning, Noon & Night,” and that remains the case. Great beers, great nightlife and great food.
Chin Chilla’s
The beautiful thing about The Strip is the mix of locals and travelers — everybody just seems to get along swimmingly. And that’s nowhere truer than Chinchilla’s, which features terrific Mexican food as well. Get ready to dance.
The Dock
The Dock is located on the far edge of The Strip, adjacent to the Timothy Beach Resort. If you’re planning to stop by on a boat, this is your best bet — it’s got its own pier.
Buddies Beach Hut
Buddies is great for a cold drink, but it’s really one of The Strip’s best food destinations. Splurge for the lobster dinner and you won’t be disappointed.
