The beaches<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s a tropical island and beaches are a given, but a large portion of Nevis&#8217; 36 square miles is covered with flawless, multi-colored sand beaches that you won&#8217;t see on every island. Nevis wasn&#8217;t nicknamed &#8220;Queen of the Caribees&#8221; for nothing. Not only are the beaches spectacular, but they are usually uncrowded, with just a few palm trees to join you with your lounging. From the gentle waves of Oualie Beach to the sea breezes of Nisbet Beach and the festive beach bars on Pinney&#8217;s Beach, you could spend a week just relaxing on a different beach every day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51248\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51248\" class=\"wp-image-51248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-600x402.jpg\" alt=\"The Hamilton estate, courtesy of Rosalind Cummings-Yeates.\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-600x402.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-1250x837.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_0199-400x268.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-51248\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Hamilton estate | Photo: Courtesy of Rosalind Cummings-Yeates.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>2.

Visitors can retrace his steps, from the humble Georgian house where he was born, which is now the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevisisland.com\/historical-sites-landmarks\/museum-of-nevis-history\"> Museum of Nevis History,<\/a>\u00a0to the sprawling ruins of his father&#8217;s sugar plantation, the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevisisland.com\/historical-sites-landmarks\/hamilton-estate\"> Hamilton Estate<\/a>, which was owned by the Hamilton family until the 1950s. There&#8217;s also the Anglican school that refused to educate Hamilton because he was illegitimate and the Jewish cemetery, which flanks the building that once housed the synagogue where \u00a0young Hamilton was tutored.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_51343\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51343\" class=\"wp-image-51343 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis.jpg\" alt=\"nevis\" width=\"800\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis-300x256.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis-768x655.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis-600x512.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Nevis-400x341.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-51343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nevis sugar mill | Photo: Rosalind Cummings-Yeates<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>3.
