Pinney's Beach, Coastal beach in Saint Thomas Lowland Parish, Saint Kitts and Nevis
Pinney's Beach is a long sandy beach on the western Caribbean coast of Nevis, in Saint Thomas Lowland Parish. It begins just outside Charlestown and runs north for three miles (4.5 km), ending at the northern point of Cades Bay, where the Sea Bridge ferry dock stands near the southern entrance to The Narrows.
The name comes from a colonial-era estate that grew sugar and other crops during British settlement. That property left a mark on the area and gave the beach its current name.
The beach takes its name from Pinneys Estate, a plantation owned in the 19th century by the Pinney family, who lived on Nevis for several generations. The southern end begins just outside Charlestown, so the capital's residents reach the sand on foot.
Several resorts along the coast provide beach access, equipment rentals, and water activities for visitors. The facilities make it easy for travelers to spend a full day enjoying the beach with various amenities.
The beach's northern end stops at Cades Bay, where the Sea Bridge ferry dock sits near the southern entrance to The Narrows, the strait separating Nevis from Saint Kitts. From there the neighbouring island lies just across the water.
