St Kitts & Nevis

St. Kitts & Nevis are beautiful Caribbean islands known for its lush landscape and vibrant culture. Together they form part of the twin-island nation.

Featuring stunning beaches, tropical rainforests, and charming colonial architecture.

We were greeted by a local wanting to earn some money to pose with his monkey’s.  I would not recommend this due to potential rabies, be prudent, they work fast and before you know it the monkey is on your head.

We visited the Bassetere National Museum to learn about the islands history.

Pre-Columbian era the island was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples, with the Carib and Arawak tribes being the most prominent before European contact.

St. Kitts & Nevis were first sighted by Europeans when Christopher Columbus sailed by in 1493.

St. Kitts & Nevis’ history is a tapestry of indigenous heritage, European colonial influence, and African legacy, contributing to its vibrant culture and society today.

We enjoyed strolling the shops located in the capital Bassetere.

Although we were situated on St Kitts access to Nevis to easy.  We took a short walk to the marina and hopped on a water taxi for a ‘speedy ride’ to the neighbouring island of Nevis. 

Nevis is also known as Oualie by the Kalinago Indians, meaning ‘Land of Beautiful Waters’.

Upon arriving on Nevis we made our way to Pinney Beach a remote beach which we enjoyed all to our selves.

First things first our eager 8-year-old Kidsetter needed a swim.

After a swim we had worked up an appetite, thankfully we didn’t need to walk far to Yachtsman Grill.

Yachtsman Grill’s famous thin crust pizza and array of fresh toppings are the number one choice for locals and visitors.

We enjoyed some cocktails and juices before it was time for another dip.

With its rich history and welcoming community, St. Kitts & Nevis is a delightful destination for all travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
