Saint Kitts and Nevis Facts and Country Information...

Map of Saint Kitts and Nevis, with cities, parishes, and road-light network. This straightforward guide reads along the labels you see on the map so students, travelers, and residents can find places at a glance. You will see the two sister islands, Saint Kitts to the northwest and Nevis to the southeast, split by the narrow channel called The Narrows. The blue water to the west is the Caribbean Sea, and to the east is the Atlantic Ocean. Red dots mark towns, a red square marks the capital, and thin red lines show the main road-light corridors that connect communities.

How to Read This Map Quickly

  • The country has two islands and fourteen parishes.

  • Basseterre is the national capital of Saint Kitts. Charlestown is the main town on Nevis.

  • Place names with Saint in front are parishes. Smaller labels are towns or bays.

  • The ring roads loop around both islands. Side spurs run to beaches and bays.

Saint Kitts from West to East

West anchor: Sandy Point and Dieppe Bay

On the far northwest coast, the map shows Sandy Point Town and Dieppe Bay Town. They sit inside Saint Anne Sandy Point Parish and Saint John Capesterre Parish. Just east of Dieppe Bay, you will see Parsons and Saddlers on the north shore. These communities face the open Atlantic and are linked by the coastal road that bends around to the northeast.

North belt: Capesterre to Nichola Town

Moving east along the top of the island, the road passes Saddlers, Tabernacle, and Belle Vue within Christ Church Nichola Town Parish. Slightly inland, the label Mansion appears, and down the slope toward the sea, you will spot Lodge and Ottley. This stretch is inside Saint Mary Cayon Parish, which also includes the town of Cayon on the northeast coast.

Northeast to East point: Cayon to the Atlantic bays

Cayon is the key town on the east shore. From here, the road curves southeast past Keys and Conaree. Offshore on this side, the map names bays such as Half Moon Bay and North Frigate Bay. The thin red line continues to the southeast peninsula, where you can read Great Salt Pond, Banana Bay, Cockleshell Bay, Turtle Beach, and Booby Island. These labels help you place the popular beaches at the end of the island.

Capital core: Basseterre and the south coast

At the center of the south coast, the red square marks Basseterre, the national capital inside Saint George Basseterre Parish. Next to it, you will notice Bird Rock, Frigate Bay, and the suburb of Shadwell. The airport symbol sits just east of town near Conaree. West of the capital, the roadway passes Boyd's and Trinity, then reaches Old Road Town in Saint Thomas Middle Island Parish. The same road continues to Verchild's and wraps to the north shore, where our west-to-east loop began.

Parishes of Saint Kitts

Northern capes and coastal farms

  • Saint Paul Capesterre Parish includes Dieppe Bay Town and nearby villages on the northwest rim.

  • Saint John Capesterre Parish lies just south of that, meeting the north coast road.

Northeast slope and sugar belt

  • Christ Church Nichola Town Parish covers Tabernacle and Belle Vue.

  • Saint Mary Cayon Parish encompasses Cayon, Lodge, Ottley, and Hillside hamlets, including Mansion.

Capital district and neighbors

  • Saint Peter Basseterre Parish sits just north of the capital and touches the east.

  • Saint George Basseterre Parish holds Basseterre, Bird Rock, and Frigate Bay.

  • Trinity Palmetto Point Parish and Saint Thomas Middle Island Parish lie to the west of Boyd's, Trinity, and Old Road Town.

West coast step

  • Saint Anne Sandy Point Parish includes Sandy Point Town at the foot of the island's western headland.

These parish names, printed in large type on the map, help you know which local government area a town belongs to. When someone says "Cayon in Saint Mary," they mean Cayon inside Saint Mary Cayon Parish on the northeast coast.

Nevis from North to South

Your eye moves across The Narrows to the rounder island of Nevis. The route here is also a ring road that links each coastal village.

North and northeast: Newcastle to Butlers

At the north tip, you will see Newcastle, the gateway town near the island's airport. The road bends east and southeast through Brick Kiln, Butlers, Manns, and Whitehall inside Saint James Windward Parish. On the coast near the far east, you will see New River and Indian Castle marking the island's edge.

East and southeast: Gingerland and rivers

The southeast interior is Saint George Gingerland Parish. Here, the map displays inland labels such as Zion, Market Shop, and Rice. The coast looks rugged with points and small bays, and the road climbs and dips as it connects each settlement.

Southwest and west: Charlestown to Cotton Ground

On the west side, the red dot marks Charlestown, the main town of Nevis, inside Saint Paul's Charlestown Parish. Just north along the Caribbean coast, the road passes Bath, Fountain, Jessups, Barnes Ghaut, and Cotton Ground in Saint Thomas Lowland Parish. Further south from Charlestown, the map labels Brown Hill and Prospect within Saint John Figtree Parish.

Parishes of Nevis

  • Saint James Windward Parish covers Newcastle, Butlers, Brick Kiln, and the northeast coast.

  • Saint George's Gingerland Parish is located in the southeastern interior, with villages such as Zion and Market Shop.

  • Saint John Figtree Parish stretches across the south and southwest with Brown Hill and Prospect.

  • Saint Paul Charlestown Parish is a small district around Charlestown on the west coast.

  • Saint Thomas Lowland Parish runs up the northwest with Cotton Ground, Jessups, and Barnes Ghaut.

The parish borders on the map are easy to spot because each parish has its own color fill and label.

Finding Bays, Points, and Passages

Channels and passages

  • The thin label The Narrows sits between the islands. Small boats cross here, and the water shows a different shade to mark the strait.

  • On Saint Kitts, the south shore lists White House Bay, Ballast Bay, and Great Salt Pond.

  • On Nevis, the south and east label Indian Castle, New River, and Booby Island offshore.

Caribbean side vs Atlantic side

  • The Caribbean Sea touches the west coasts of both islands, where you see Charlestown, Cotton Ground, Old Road Town, and Sandy Point Town.

  • The Atlantic Ocean meets the east coast, where you find Cayon, Keys, New River, and Butler.

If you follow the map coastlines clockwise, you can plan a complete island loop and tick off each village as you pass it.

Road-Light Corridors You Can Trace With Your Finger

Saint Kitts ring and southeast spur

Start at Basseterre. Go west to Boyd's, Trinity, and Old Road Town. Continue north to Sandy Point Town, then sweep around the north to Dieppe Bay Town, Saddlers, Tabernacle, and Belle Vue. Turn east to Cayon and then south to Conaree. From here, the southeast spur runs past Frigate Bay to Great Salt Pond, Banana Bay, and Cockleshell Bay. Return through Bird Rock to Basseterre to close the loop.

Nevis coastal loop

Begin at Charlestown. Drive north through Bath, Fountain, Jessups, and Cotton Ground to Newcastle. Curve along the northeast to Butlers and Whitehall, then down the east to New River and the Indian Castle area. Swing west again through Zion, Market Shop, and Brown Hill, then back to Charlestown.

These two loops are the main travel lines drawn in red on the map. Short spurs connect to beaches and points.

Capitals, Borders, and Nearby Lands

Capitals on the map

  • Basseterre on Saint Kitts is the national capital, marked by the red square at the south coast.

  • Charlestown on Nevis is the capital, shown by a red dot on the west coast.

International setting

The country is an island nation, so its borders are maritime. The map clearly names the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as the water neighbors of the islands. To the south, across open water, are other Lesser Antilles islands, though they are not shown in detail on this map.
