St. Kitts and Nevis are two islands but one paradise. People come to enjoy the islands’ warm beaches and cool forests, quaint towns and authentic architecture and its many tranquil, private pleasures.
A two-mile strait – six minutes by air or 45 minutes by ferry boat, separates the two islands. St. Kitts, the larger, has the more varied terrain – volcanic peaks covered with lush green forets, can plains, and the aris southeast peninsula which is ringed with coves of black, mink-brown and white sand. Nevis is distinguished by its large volcanic central peak surrounded by green hills with tropical gardens, secluded lodgings, and picturesque manor houses, all edged with lovely beaches.
Driving in St. Kitts is on the left side and requires you to have a driver’s permit. This permit can be obtained from the Traffic Department
