The two islands of St Kitts and Nevis are known for their mountains and beaches. Saint Kitts, the larger island, is home to the dormant Mount Liamuiga volcano, a crater lake, green vervet monkeys and rainforest crisscrossed with hiking trails.
Nevis is quieter, but oh-so-pretty. Want to get some amazing Saint Kitts and Nevis Instagram photos? We’ve got you covered.
1. Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park
Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on a hill on the island of St. Kitts.
The impressive stone fortress has canons and a fantastic view of the green countryside. Climb on top of the canon and play soldier for a cute Saint Kitts and Nevis Instagram photo.

2. Pinney’s Beach
A peaceful white sandy beach on the island of Nevis, Pinney’s Beach is a tropical paradise. Probably the most famous and most popular beach on Nevis, and for good reason.
There’s luxury resorts, rustic beach bars and a laid-back vibe. Ideal.

3. Mount Liamuiga
At 1166 metres, this dormant volcano is a great opportunity for a six-hour mountain hike. The area surrounding the mountain has lush rainforest, and exotic plants.
You’ll have views of the Caribbean Sea as well as the neighbouring islands of Saba, Statia, St. Barths, St. Martin and Antigua.

4. Turtle Beach
Turtle Beach is just as idyllic as it sounds. It’s a secluded stretch of sand with views of Nevis island in the background.
If you’re out on a boat and are lucky, you might just see the odd dolphin or pod of whales passing through, especially in wintertime.

5. Banana Bay
This is where you’ll find the nicest white sand on St. Kitts island. Banana Bay (yep, the beaches here do have the best names!), is gorgeous. It’s not as busy as other beaches on the island, so you’ll have peach and quiet.
P.S. if you plan to go snorkeling, you should bring your own gear.
