Your Kind of Escape in Saint Kitts and Nevis
Two green volcanic islands, one country, and a short ferry ride between them. St. Kitts has the capital, a UNESCO-listed hilltop fortress and beaches on its southeast peninsula. Nevis is smaller and quieter, with a single peak usually wrapped in cloud.
I plan and book these trips for travellers across Canada, from checked destination information rather than a personal trip report.

A few highlights
Two islands, one trip
Spend a few days on each, or stay on one and cross for a day. The ferry between Basseterre and Charlestown takes about 45 minutes. Getting between the islands
Calm Caribbean beaches
The calmest beaches face the Caribbean Sea, including those on St. Kitts’ southeast peninsula and Pinney’s Beach on Nevis. The beaches
Brimstone Hill, Basseterre, Charlestown and the hikes are on the same page. See the places
