The most intimate of the West Indies’ islands, St. Kitts has gently sloping shorelines on the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Today, on 2,500 acres of bluffs, beaches and mountains, a vibrant port-of-call is emerging – one with a stable, forward-thinking government – with emphasis on historic preservation, green energy and sustainable development. St. Kitts is transforming itself from a sugar-based economy to one focused more on business development and tourism.
