Location

Immediate Location

Alverton is located in Fitts Village, a small, popular location on the beautiful west coast, otherwise known as the 'Platinum Coast'. Next door to the driveway is the small, colourful boatyard which is seldom used, the pretty village green where church services and barbeques are regularly held in the bandstand, and the magnificent Il Tempo Italian restaurant, reputed to be a favourite of Luciano Pavarotti.

Opposite the village green is Jordan's supermarket which along with usual provisions, also offers pharmaceutical products.

About 200 yards North, along the beach takes you to Charlottes bar which offers good, reasonably priced food, as does the Crystal Cove, a similar distance further North along the beach.

Almost immediately outside Alverton is the bus stop where you can catch one of the very frequent yellow buses which will take you anywhere on the island for $1.50 (about 50p) or one of the more expensive government run buses (less frequent). Three minutes North on the bus, or a stoll for the energetic, will take you to Holetown with its' many restaurants, bars and shops.

The famous Cliff restaurant is about two miles North of Alverton, where chef Paul Owen's spectacular cuisine is matched by the amazing cliff-top views of the Caribbean Sea.

Turtles
There is a family of turtles that frequent the waters of Fitts village. The local fishermen have fed the turtles since birth so they are very friendly and enquisitive creatures who will swim with you looking for any offerings you may have. There is a much larger colony of turtles in Kings Bay, a couple of miles North which can be swum to or snorkeling trips can be organised from Folkestone Marine Park, just North of Holetown.
Watersports
A stroll to the next bay either North or South from Fitts village (each about 500 yards) will take you to watersports organisers where Jetskis, water skis, inflatables and dinghys etc. can be rented.
