White House Bay
White House Bay is a cove on the southern side of the Southeast Peninsula in St Kitts, known for snorkeling, diving, clear water, and a rocky shoreline.
Overview
White House Bay sits in a cove on the southern side of the Southeast Peninsula in Saint George Basseterre. It is one of the more compact marine stops within the broader Southeast Peninsula shoreline.
The bay is better known for snorkeling and diving than for long stretches of sand. Clear water and a more enclosed setting make it appealing for short water-based visits when conditions are favorable.
Parts of the shoreline are rocky underfoot, so the experience feels more rugged than the island's softer, sandier beaches. It attracts visitors looking for a quieter cove and a stronger focus on the water itself.
