Every year the travelchannel.com releases the Best Beaches Awards chosen entirely by the votes of the people. The beaches are separated into different categories, some of which include: Best Family Beach, Best Party Beach, Best Romantic Beach, etc. The Travel Channel also features a category named Best Beach You Haven't Heard of... Yet.
So today, we are going to explore the winner of the Best Beach You Haven't Heard of... Yet aware. Let's 'sea' Nevis.
Nevis is a 36-square-mile island that lies near the top of the Lesser Antilles archipelago, about 200 miles south of Puerto Rico, and just west of Antigua. This secret island is only seven miles long and five miles wide.
If you are flying to Nevis from the United States, the easiest way is to first fly in to San Juan, Puerto Rico. From there you can get a direct flight in to Nevis. You are required to show your valid passport.
According to nevisisland.com, "Nevis is truly one of the remaining unspoilt places and proudly carries the name, 'Queen of the Caribees'."
The small Caribbean island boasts crystal clear seas and white sandy beaches. In the distance there are beautiful green hills in which you can hear monkeys chattering.
According to travelchannel.com, "Most of the hotels have been transformed from 200-year-old plantation homes and estates. The entire island is eco-friendly, with the goal of making all fossil-fuel electricity extinct (currently, wind turbines can produce up to 20 percent of the island's power). There's hiking, sulfur springs and intimate beaches. But it's the accommodations, all very unique, that give Nevis character."
If you are lucky enough to stay at the Four Seasons when you visit Nevis, you will get to claim bragging rights to a sublime beach, steps away from Sunshine's, an iconic beach bar known for its signature drink, Killer Bee.
I am sure you will agree with me when I say that that Nevis just climbed to the top of my list of places I want to go. I hope I get to 'sea' it in person!
