Pinney's Beach

✨ Hidden gem

You'll drop anchor off Pinney's Beach, a long stretch of golden sand on Nevis's calm Caribbean-facing coast, about a mile from Cotton Ground. Holding is average — expect some dragging before it sets — and the coast guard may swing by to redirect you to mooring buoys, so have those ready as a backup. The setting is relaxed and unhurried, with the beach backed by palms and the volcanic peak of Nevis rising dramatically behind it.
