A postcard of a beach: fine white sands, coconut palms, placid waters and even a lagoon behind the beach.
Was I in Hawaii? That's the feeling I got when I was walking on this lovely long stretch of beach with Mount Nevis on one side with foreground covered by all the coconut trees at Four Seasons and Caribbean sea as foreground to the beautiful long stretch of hills and mountains of St. Kitts. The water is crystal clear with gemstone blue shades. Fortunately Four Seasons and its buildings didn't ruin the natural feel of the surroundings. In fact they blended well and added to enhance the beautiful views of Nevis. The beach feels deep drop off at places but there are plenty of sections that feel very safe for a long soak while taking in the views of Nevis.

Exhibits regard the history and culture of Nevis, with particular focus on Nevis-native, Alexander Hamilton.
On a recent visit to Nevis, I was excited to see the new exhibition at the History Museum. It's professionally curated and easy to follow, with really interesting information that teaches visitors about the island's history from pre-Colombian times up to contemporary Nevis culture. It's obviously a small museum, run by a non-profit society, but they have done an amazing job and even use new technologies (Augmented Reality and QR codes) which our kids found really fun! And don't worry: there is free WiFi to download the apps for AR and QR codes! Next door is Hamilton House and the new Museum Gift shop that has some great and original items. There's also a great little Café in the yard for light meals and drinks after your visit – so this place is a wonderful way to spend an hour or so. The museum is definitely a MUST-DO for any visitor to Nevis – it's a great introduction to the overall history before you start your tour of the rest of the Island!

The remains of a Jewish community that fled Brazil in the 17th century.
A sacred and solemn site. The citizens of Nevis are to be commended for the preservation and recognition of this important place in history. It's amazing to learn about the impact and reach of the Jewish people from so long ago. Let us never forget. As always, enjoy life, live, love, eat, drink, and have fun!! :)

Visitors can see the ruins of this grand 18th-century hotel and spa.
The Bath Hotel and Spring House offer and very low key 115’ “foot” bath. It is very small, and gets crowded when cruise ships are in. I went late in the afternoon when it was virtually empty and was pleasantly surprised with how rejuvenated I felt afterwards. The heat is intense and you need to go in slowly. While there, I met a man from Nevis who was very informative about the bath and affirmed the healing powers of the volcanic water. I intend to go back. For $1 EC, it is a bargain!

Went for lunchtime sun bathe and meal. Take car/ taxi there mid morning and stay for the day. This is a superb beach and you can walk the length of Pinneys beach whenever the sun bed or lunch allows. Just EC$10 for a lounger for the day then head in to Sunshines for the famous Killer Bee ( or several!!) and great lunch. A very warm and friendly welcome as well as nice gift shop. Tip is to stay locally to Pinneys and then base your days around Sunshines.

Museum and historic site, this mansion marks the birthplace of the father of the U.S. National Bank.
If you are a history buff, especially an Alexander Hamilton fan, this is a must. The museum is quaint but informative.
