"When it comes to beach bars, it doesn’t get much better than this open-air spot on picturesque Cockleshell Bay. During the day, guests can take advantage of lounge chairs, beach volleyball nets, and snorkeling gear rentals. Friday nights bring bonfire dinners, while Sunday afternoons feature live bands and dancing. The menu is heavy on seafood prepared in the traditional Caribbean way, with popular dishes ranging from corn chowder to coconut shrimp and conch fritters."

Swim Between 2 Idyllic Caribbean Islands — and See Turtles, Fish, and Other Marine Life Along the Way

"This beachfront bar and gathering spot functions as the official finish line for the cross-channel swim, accommodating everyone from casual, fin-equipped participants to serious competitors racing without aids. The finish area doubles as a community hub for the event’s charitable and outreach efforts—organizers have renewed partnerships with the local Special Olympics chapter and a 'Gifting Goggles' initiative that collects donated goggles for youth swimming programs—and is where course times are recorded, including the course record of 55 minutes, 28 seconds held by Olympic gold-medalist Ashley Whitney." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

Rush Slowly and enjoy yourself. Decent snorkeling if you follow the coastline out a way. Deeper grass beds for turtle/ray encounters and smaller carribean species of fish abound. Cool and chill place. Easy parking.

So this place is just a experience. We hit the lobster buffett on Fridays when they also have live music. You get a choice between lobster, shrimp, fish, chicken,and ribs. Pick two or three. If you want a whole lobster that is the only meat you get. Then the buffet has salad, rice, mixed veggies and pumpkin poppers. With all that you also get a drink. Beware the rum punch. it is high octane. The mango, coconut blend is excellent. I had the lobster and fish which were great. The pumpkin poppers were a great surprise treat. They went well with the plantains.

A nice beach and bar. Ken is the man...you always know when he is around as he is letting everyone know he is ready to take an order when he says, "I am working!". What a great server. Beach was great, swam with turtles 🐢👌🏻. Rum punch delicious. A perfect stop for a day off the ship. Great sight seeing on the way as well.

Cockleshell Beach is basically at the far end of the St. Kitts peninsula. Reggae Beach Bar is the largest and last one you reach. It's a casual, open air bar by a beautiful beach with food that is far tastier than I expected. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available to rent, but there's plenty of space if you just want to put down a beach mat. The music is a but loud, but very pleasant Don't pass on the conch fritters!

We took the water taxi over from Nevis for Lobster Fest with a group of nine, and this place did not disappoint. The energy was on point — live band, quick service, and a crowd that was clearly there to have a good time. Portions were solid for the price, and the bucket of beer definitely kept the vibes going. It’s a fun, easygoing setup where you can eat well, drink well, and not feel rushed. The atmosphere leans a little touristy, but honestly, that didn’t take away from the experience at all. You’re right on the beach, perfectly positioned for sunset, dancing, and soaking up the whole island vibe. Overall, a great spot for groups and anyone looking to kick back and enjoy a fun evening by the water.

Cannot comment on the food as we ordered twice at the bar and didn't get food. We know that all is more relaxed in the Carribbean and that one has to accept such situations, but just added some negative vibes for us. Otherwise obviously cool place. Lots of shade and lovely to relax and spend time. A lot of people, so not that peaceful, but that's not why you would go there :)

I had smoked salmon, eggs, potatoes, and toast. DELICIOUS!! Was able to taste the pancakes, which were cooked to perfection. The buffalo wings are tasty (right size and crispness). Service was on point. Never lacked enthusiasm. Patient and friendly.

Nice food, great cocktails. Quite pricey. Some staff are great, others not too efficient an friendly. On the most amazing beach on the island, bur when there is a cruise ship in, it is hiddiiously busy an packed - so we avoid it at these times.
