Nevis: Where You Love To
Say “Good Morning”
Unspoiled rain forests, soft beaches, exquisite lodging, remarkable dining,
unique historic sites and shimmering sunsets, the island of Nevis offers an
unparalleled blend of experiences for all visitors.
Located in the Windward Islands of the West Indies, Nevis is a 36-square mile
jewel. The island is dominated by 3,232-ft. Mt. Nevis, an extinct volcano almost
completely covered by rain forest and often crowned by clouds. More than just
a magnificent vision, Mt. Nevis is a fulcrum for the mild, steady year-round
weather, with highs averaging in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-70s (F). No
matter where you’re at on Nevis, the mountain stays with you.
The capital and commercial heart of Nevis is Charlestown, located in the
southwest quadrant of the island. The main administration center of the
island’s autonomous government, the Nevis Island Administration, is located in
the Bath Hotel, an 18th-century structure that has been renovated to meet the
public’s needs. At the foot of the Bath Hotel are the famous hot springs, fed by
naturally warm waters from Mt. Nevis, which have been attracting visitors for
centuries and continue to offer comfort today.
Charlestown has the look and feel of old Europe and contemporary Caribbean.
In the heart of the city, streets must be navigated slowly to allow vehicles and
pedestrians to safely share the space. First-time visitors will be surprised by
the pace, which moves to a rhythm, all its own.
For visitors, downtown Charlestown has to be experienced on foot to be
enjoyed. Shops offer a wide variety of Caribbean specialty items, groceries,
clothing, shoes and some goods that many from the United States and Europe
will be familiar with, such as toiletries.
You can find many things you may never have seen before and some things
you might have left behind by accident!
There is a lot to choose from when dining in Charlestown. Snackettes offer
local dishes and drinks. Restaurants can be found on both the first and
second floors of Charlestown, each with a menu that will tempt your tastes
and a price range that will suit your budget. Many visitors find themselves
moving at a leisurely pace and stopping at three or four places just to try a
refreshment before settling on a spot to eat.
Charlestown cannot be fully enjoyed without a visit to the waterfront. At the ferry
landing, a number of shops and dining establishments are fun to visit and the complex
is adjacent to the Cotton Ginnery Mall, with more stores in this former industrial complex.
Strolling north from the Ginnery Mall, you can enjoy the site of ships and boats as they
sail the Caribbean and take in the view of St. Kitts across the channel. Your walk will
take you past more shops, stores and restaurants. Near the end of the waterfront area,
you’ll find one of Nevis’ most fascinating sites: The Alexander Hamilton House and
Museum. This is the birthplace of Hamilton, a hero of the American Revolutionary War
the first Secretary of the Treasury. The museum documents not only his life, but the
history of Nevis.
The second floor of the building today serves as a chamber for the island’s legislative
body, the Nevis Island Assembly.
Charlestown only scratches the surface of Nevis’s attractions. The island’s main road is
a 19-mile circuit with a surprise and an attraction around every bend.
Driving north from Charlestown, there’s Pinney’s Beach, widely regarded as one of the
most beautiful in the Caribbean. A number of fun, exciting beach bars can be found
along Pinney’s, including the venerable Sunshine’s made famous for its house drink
‘the killer bee’. Further north, you’ll find Qualie Beach and Lovers Beach, each with its
own natural and man-made attractions. Vance W. Amory International Airport is located
at the northern tip of the island, and soon you’ll find yourself passing two stunning
stretches of sand, Nisbett Beach and Herbert’s Beach.
As you start to head south, the Main Road cuts a bit further inland, though the views of
the Atlantic Ocean are breathtaking. There are plenty of overlooks and numerous ruins
that make for great portraits. In the southeast corner of the island, you’ll reach
Windward Beach at Indian Castle, a place of natural beauty unrivalled anywhere.
For those who enjoy great natural beauty, Nevis and the Nevis Botanical Garden is
indeed a site to behold; just be prepared to take your time and take lots of pictures
when you visit.
But it’s not just about great beauty on Nevis. There’s scuba diving and snorkeling in
pristine waters. There’s sailing fishing, horseback riding and hiking. Horse races are
held several times a year and for those who like racing of another kind, Nevis has a
new motor racing track that attracts cars and motorcycles from across the region for
red-hot competitions.
When you’ve had your fun and want to recharge, you’ll need a place to stay. Nevis
offers some of the most comfortable and exclusive inns in the world- many of them
located in renovated historic homes and sites -as well as terrific lodgings for those on a
budget. Visitors who want to stay a little longer or even for a long while can find
stunning villas and rental properties scattered across the island.
Great lodging is accompanied by great dining. From local and regional dishes to more
familiar fare, visitors will find delectable food and invigorating drink served at venues
that cater to every taste. There is no shortage of variety on Nevis.
Visitors will find something else on Nevis that can’t be duplicated: Nevisian charm.
When you start each day, you’ll find people wishing you, “Good morning,” and if you
want to observe the local custom, you’ll find yourself replying, “Good morning.”
Come to Nevis. You’ll find it’s a great place to say, “Good morning.”
