Southeast Peninsula (Saint Kitts)
The Southeast Peninsula of Saint Kitts stretches southeast from the capital, Basseterre for some 14 kilometres to the waters of The Narrows, the strait which separates the island from its neighbour Nevis. It is connected to the rest of the island by an isthmus which, at its narrowest, is less than one kilometre wide. Features of the peninsula include the Great Salt Pond, the country's largest lake, Turtle Beach, and several bays (including Ballast Bay, Major's Bay, and Cockleshell Bay).
Until recently, this scrubby, low-lying peninsula, was less extensively developed than the rest of the island, being accessible mainly by boat. The construction of an all-weather road during the 1990s has led to some development, particularly around Turtle Beach.
