Shipwreck Beach Bar — Restaurant in Saint Kitts

The day after our all-out wedding that went from 3:30 pm to 3:30 am (and then until sunrise back at the hotel), our 150 guests joined us at Shipwreck Bar for a Beach Recovery Day. It was the perfect location for our guests to relax, socialize, and explore the day after our wedding. They provided us space so we could have (1) our own DJ, (2) massage therapy tables for our guests to recouperate, and (3) IV hydration therapy treatments to bring us all back to life. Shipwreck is a truly beautiful location, with the relaxed go-with-the-flow beach shack vibe that encourages everyone who enters to just let go of their worries and enjoy the moment. The drinks are strong and good, the food is delicious, prices affordable, and the service is really good! To top it off the staff are warm, friendly and make you feel at home. Even the journey to Shipwreck is an adventure in itself. It Is an unpaved bumpy dirt road, but within the 10 minute drive going down to the bar, you’ll see gorgeous surroundings, and possibly some wildlife such as monkeys and local birds. It really sets the vibe of an exotic vacation. Once at the bar, you can rent all kinds of water-related gear to snorkel and to see the nearby reefs, exotic fish, and to enjoy the calm Caribbean waters. If you’d like a slower pace, you can lounge and tan in one of the many beach loungers setup in the gorgeous black sand beach...

If you're looking for an out of the way, legit, beachfront tiki bar, this is the place. We were visiting St. Kitts for a day while on a cruise and had set up our own adventures while there. We still had the afternoon open, so we asked our very knowledgeable taxi driver, Colin from C's Taxi, where we could go for some chill time and great local food before having to head back to the ship. He said the best option by far was Shipwreck. He was spot on. The drinks were strong and delicious, and the service was friendly and welcoming (but on island time, so not the place of you're in a hurry), and the food was awesome. We enjoyed the local conch fritters, bbq ribs and garlic bread plate, and jerk chicken tacos. They were all full of flavor and definitely recommended. This is a laid-back, all outside but covered, local joint off the beaten path. All while the beautiful Caribbean sea laps at the shore only a few feet away. There are also palapas and beach chairs available by the water, (for free) bathrooms and plenty of cold beer and a full bar. Just bring your sunscreen, suits and towels. This is an awesome hideaway and great place to get away from all the touristy stuff and hang by the water. If you're lucky, a few of the furry locals might stop by, too.
