Nevis, an almost circular 36 square mile island, is the epicenter of the Leewards crowned by a 3200 foot high extinct volcano with tropical rain forests and white and golden sand beaches.
Nevisians are a warm friendly people who are very proud of their country. The capitol, Charlestown is still a sleepy mid-Victorian Caribbean town, a far cry from the bustling capital centers of other Caribbean islands.
Boasting of several beaches that stretch for miles relatively undisturbed, the longest, being Pinney's Beach. The windward side has a magnificent and usually deserted beach where you can body surf the breakers. Oualie Beach is the center for windsurfing, diving and snorkeling with trips to the nearby coral reefs and exotic dive sites.
Activity is limited but worthy on Nevis. Visit the Botanical Garden with cascading pools and examples of tropical plants from all over the world, play tennis (several courts available at the various resorts) or golf at the Four Seasons beautiful 18-hole Robert Trent Jones palm shaded course. Equestrians and would-be equestrians alike, will be enjoy horseback riding. A race track schedules horse races on major holidays.
Dining is a mixed bag with the local delicacies of steamed breadfruit, goat water, grilled lobster and fresh fish vying with international interpretations at the Plantation Inns. Local musicians with steel pans and string bands alternate with jazz groups and a traveling discotheque to provide entertaining diversions on Nevis. That's about it for nightlife and visitors here wouldn't have it any other way.
Nevis attracts hikers, divers and other water sport enthusiasts, however the main attractions are lounging on the beach, reading a good book and relaxing. The luxury hotels and plantation inns here attract many a discriminating traveler. At least for now, Nevis is a destination of quiet, laid back charm and natural beauty greatly undisturbed by development.
