Pinneys beach

This Less-visited Caribbean Island Has Luxe Hotels and Stunning Beaches—and It’s Only 36 Square Miles With No Stoplights

"A long, luxurious stretch of golden sand on the island’s west coast, this is Nevis’s most famous spot for a beach day. Vendors rent chairs and water‑sports gear, but the scene often centers on cozying up at Sunshine’s Beach Bar & Grill for its world‑famous Killer Bee rum punch; the already‑near‑perfect sands somehow feel even better with one in hand." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"I found Pinney's Beach to be postcard-perfect — white sand, turquoise water, and swaying palm trees — with bars and casual restaurants nearby for rum punch and sustenance between swimming and sunning." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.

"This stunning, three-mile-long beach is one of Nevis’ best. Stretching from Charlestown along most of the island’s west coast, it offers a range of diversions, from bars, cafes, and the Four Seasons Resort to beautiful scenery and fascinating wildlife. Although Pinney’s is known for its nighttime party scene, it also features plenty of secluded spots to relax, play volleyball, or enjoy a private picnic."
