⭐ Core Definition: Pinney's Beach

Pinney's Beach, also spelled Pinneys Beach, is a very long sandy beach on the western Caribbean coast of the island of Nevis, in Saint Kitts and Nevis, Leeward Islands in the West Indies. The southern end of Pinneys Beach starts just outside the capital, Charlestown. The beach extends north three miles from there, ending at the northern point of Cades Bay, which is currently where the Sea Bridge ferry dock is located. That is near the southern entrance to The Narrows, the strait separating Nevis from the neighboring island of Saint Kitts.

Pinneys Beach takes its name from Pinneys Estate. This was a large piece of land, a plantation which in the 19th century was owned by the Pinney family, who lived on Nevis for several generations.

Pinney's Beach in the context of Charlestown, Nevis

Charlestown is the capital of the island of Nevis in the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies. Charlestown is situated on the leeward side of the island of Nevis near the southern end of Pinney's Beach.

Charlestown was originally called Bath Bay in reference to Bath Stream, a stream noted for its curative waters.It became the chief town after Jamestown, Nevis's first settlement, was inundated by a tidal wave in 1680. In the late 18th century, Charlestown was both a naval base and a resort known for mineral waters. The town was almost destroyed by fire in 1873.
