Pump Bay seems like one of St. Kitts' best kept secrets. Why do I say that? The two times we went to the beach there, aside from a couple of swimmers, we were the only ones present! The reasons could be the dark sand and the small stones you need to walk across to get to the smooth sandy parts where you can stand in the water and fully enjoy the wonderfully refreshing experience Pump Bay has to offer. The waters seem a little cooler here than in Frigate Bay, and the scenery is beautiful. Also, it's just a short walk from the main road in Sandy Point, and you're there.
