Southeast Peninsula (Saint Kitts)

The Southeast Peninsula of Saint Kitts island is located in Saint Kitts and Nevis, in the Lesser Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean.

Southeast Peninsula of Saint Kitts, looking southeast towards Nevis island.

Geography

It stretches southeast from the country's capital, Basseterre, for ~14 kilometres to the waters of The Narrows, the strait which separates Saint Kitts island nearby Nevis island. It is connected to the rest of the island by an isthmus which, at its narrowest, is less than one kilometre wide.

Features

Features of the peninsula include the Great Salt Pond, the country's largest lake, St. Anthony's Peak, 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.

gollark: I have a long wishlist for phones, but I think the most important thing is actual replaceable parts.

gollark: It's weird, because back in 2017 or so I think most phones, or at least a lot of them, had removable batteries. Now basically none do.

gollark: That's good. We need phones which can actually be repaired. Ideally swappable USB-C ports, screens and batteries with actual standards for multiple phones.

gollark: I've managed to avoid C and assembly so far and am happier for it.

gollark: It's probably better to work on simple projects than try and memorize syntax or something though.
