MikeAtSea Says: This museum is a tribute to Lord Admiral Nelson, who often visited Nevis at the end ofthe 18th century. The formi-dable commander was one of the most powerful military men in the British colonies.
MikeAtSea Says: The Jewish graveyard can be accessed by walking from the old Synagogue along the Jews walk. Dating from the late 17th century, the antique burial markers are inscribed in Hebrew, English, and Portuguese.
Oldest Synagogue in the Caribbean
MikeAtSea Says: An old, one-story stone structure behind the modern administration building in Charlestown, Nevis, is possibly the oldest synagogue in the Caribbean. Some believe it is the mikva (ceremonial bath) and all that remains of the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Caribbean.
Abeyna Says: I was introduced to the Nevis Dojo for USA Goju and subsequently left Nevis with a desire for continuing the practice. Classes run 4 times a week Mon - Thursday alternating in Bath and Gingerland. Run by Sensei Vincent Maynard who is a Nevisian who has lived in the US...
Abeyna Says: With a summit of about 3232ft, how could you resist climbing it? I'm not a hiker and I managed to reach the peak without any problems (the descent was nearly soul breaking for me whilst others skipped happily down, but each to his own..) I was invited to climb the peak with...

Situated in the heart of Charlestown, opposite the ferry docks, V's Courtyard is basically the only place to be (and open) on a Friday night in Nevis. It lives up to its name as a relatively quaint area nestled in between the town's buildings where it is open air and hosts a well stocked bar, dancing area and plenty of access to stare up into the sky at the plentiful stars.
Music is all soca, dance hall, reggae and any of the latest tunes of the Caribbean. Popular with mainly anybody.. good place to go after an evening drinking at a bar elsewhere. The price of entry varies on a) who you are b) how busy it is / what time you arrive.
There have been several times where I've been allowed in for free, however other times where i had to pay if I was with a male companion for example. Price ranges from 0 to 20EC (Eastern caribbean) for entrance fee.
Recommended to anyone who visits Nevis.. popular with locals and tourists alike.
It is also a restaurant during the day!
Dress Code: Dress nicely.. no particular dress of notice.. casual will also do.

Address: Charlestown center
Abeyna Says: I strongly recommend hiring a jeep if you intend to explore Nevis.. even for a day. The main road is only paved adequately until you reach Gingerland, then you're on your own.. particularly bad for the underside of a car. Exploring the villages is extremely rewarding and...

Abeyna Says: Buses in Nevis are privately owned but organised by the government. They run fairly regularly from town either towards Newcastle or in the opposite direction (towards the Baths then up the hill). Fare depends on the journey but I usually paid 2.50EC (Eastern caribbean...

Luggage and bags: yes.. bring them
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: loose, light clothing. It is generally hot all year round (cooler around Christmas)
Shoes should be sandals or equivalent.. don't bother with socks
Bikinis for the beach
Jackets and jumpers are virtually unheard of
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: All the usual travelling stuff you would bring, but anything you would need is readily available in chemists / shops here.
Mosquito repellent.. best to buy the brands they sell here.. find them more effective. they are particularly prevalent at night, so ensure your accomodation has either AC or mosquito nets. Get yourself sprayed up before it hits 6pm!
Photo Equipment: Camera to record all your footsteps!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Plenty of opportunity to windsurf, scuba dive etc. I had a problem trying to find snorkelling goggles.. cheap ones, so I advise you buy them before you arrive.

Favorite thing: When we came up the island chain from the south, we passed Nevis and that was as close as I got to it.
Fondest memory: We ate breakfast on the island side of the ship, and watched the scenery go by as we ate.
Unfortunately, the windows were encrusted with salt, so it was hard to take pictures.

Nevis - The Queen of the Caribbean
The Narrows, a scant two-mile-wide strait, separates St. Kitts and Nevis. The sisters were probably once a single land mass, but time, erosion and rising sea levels have separated them. St. Kitts is...
