No real shopping to speak of and the downtown is about a block and a half. That being said, the reason we came to Nevis is because it is not touristy or over-developed...I probably wouldn't want it any other way...

A house of historical significance. Sits on the edge of the sea and a short walk from the ferry port.
Good local history to widen your view of one of the founding fathers of the USA
