Charlestown

Introducing Charlestown

The ferry from St Kitts docks next to the center of Charlestown, Nevis’ cute little capital, where all of the government and business structures coexist with tourist facilities and gingerbread Victorians. It’s a fun spot for a stroll and is rarely overcrowded as large cruise ships bypass Nevis. Tourist tat is refreshingly limited.

The greater Charlestown area can be readily explored on foot – the museums and the Bath House are within walking distance. Just a 15-minute jaunt north of the center will put you on a lovely stretch of Pinney’s Beach that’s lined with coconut trees and invites languid strolls.
