St Kitts

What to wear in St Kitts

This island retreat is fairly conservative due to its British heritage. Bathing suits, bare feet, and skimpy clothing should be restricted to the beach. Casual clothes made of light, natural fibers are the best choice for the weather. Restaurants and shops require modest, tidy attire.

Spoken language in St Kitts

English.

Electricity in St Kitts

The standard current is 230 volts/ 60 cycles, so you will require an adapter to use American appliances. Some of the newer hotels, however, also run 110-volt outlets.
