Herbert's Beach

Nevis


A quarter-mile dirt track spills out into this practically deserted Atlantic-side beach with white sand buttressed by clumps of sea grapes. Several reefs close to shore make it a popular spot with snorkelers provided the sea isn't too choppy. There are no facilities and very little shade here, but you'll often be alone.
