Lovely beach, very quiet and peaceful. Most days there were less than 10 people on the beach. More

Definitely worth a visit! Quiet and pretty. Beachchairs can be rented, for hotelguests it's free. There aren't many waves here, so if that is what your after this is the wrong place. More

A small hamlet of a beach. We did buy a beer or two from the local resort and enjoyed their beach chairs for a time. I can vouch for their rum punch, though a bit pricey. We went there to talk to Winston who runs Windsurf N Mountain Bike to arrange a kayak and snorkel tour, one of our favorite... More

Many had told us that Oualie was the best beach in Nevis. We were very disappointed! There are many other more interesting and beautiful beaches there. Oualie is small, and not good for walking. More

Oualie beach was in nice proximity to our lodging, Round Hill Cottage (overlooking Oualie Bay). I would not consider Nevis a "beach" destination per se, so don't expect a Cancun or Mexico beach scene here. Nevis is much more conservative and a more elegant choice in terms of travel destinations. And the people are wonderful. We visited in May, low... More

Peaceful, serene beach. Amazing to have a long stretch of sand all to yourself at times. The water is calm and clear. Rent a kayak! More

Our room was well equipped and nicely furnished but this wasn't true of some of the other rooms. in fact the who;e place needs a bit of TLC to raise its standards... More

Sailed St. Marten to Eustacia (first country to recognize USA in November, 1776 which led to Dutch - England war) to St Kitts to Nevis. Oualie Beach is most protected bay on Nevis. Nice anchorage. Rented mountain bike from Winston for $25. Visited Four Seasons (rumor is bikes not allowed to visit during high season) which is a must stop... More
