About these names

Basseterre has no formal ward or borough system for visitors to navigate; this table uses the same small-area names as the clusters.

The whole visitable centre fits inside about a 1.5 km stretch along the bay: Bay Road and Port Zante on the water, Independence Square and The Circus one block inland, the public market to the east, and the quieter Fortlands streets rising north. Frigate Bay's beach hotels are a short taxi ride east; the airport is on the north-east edge of town.
