Wonderful Beach
Jul 2019 • Solo
I did not spend much time here but I love the time that I did. Beautiful beach that is not crowded. Mountainous background. Beautiful Four Season resort nearby. Beautiful blur water. Wish I was still there.

A beach with a beautiful view
Mar 2020
We stopped to walk the beach and it was so relaxing and quiet. If you get Hungary or thirsty, there are plenty of places to stop.

Very laid back place to enjoy the beach, sun and the "Killer Bees" (specialty drink, would highly recommend). Good food
Jan 2020
Staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Food was good, not fancy in informal type atmosphere. Killer Bees drink did not taste strong but packed a punch - would recommend trying it! Beach was pretty, our family stayed the day with 5 between 25 and 60 and all had a great time. Easy to get there via water taxi (~8 minutes). Bring your own entertainment if you are not a beach person, but great place to read a book & swim and wander 30 yards for something to eat or drink.

Nice uncrowded relaxing beach
Dec 2019
We had an excursion off our sailboat that ended with lunch at Pinney beach.
After a jerk chicken lunch we had 90 minutes to just relax in the sun and hang in the water. The water is super calm and very clear. Highly recommend making the stop.

Uncrowded beach
Jan 2020
We spent three days of our week on Nevis at Pinney Beach. We found good beach bars/restaurants for lunch and very few people on the beach. We could go for long walks and swim in the gentle surf.

Great beach
Jan 2020 • Family
We took a quick boat ride from reggae beach on St Kitts to Oualie beach on Nevis ($20 pp or negotiable) . You can take a cheap cab ride to Pinneys beach near Charlestown. Cabbies regard this beach by the restaurant name “ sunshine bar or lime beach bar” we had great lunch at lime beach bar and they arrange you a free umbrella and a beach chair. There is no bar service at the beach but you can walk to any of these bars to pick up a drink. lime beach bar gives u a bucket of beer for a great price to take with u.
Water here was amazing with a beautiful view of st kitts. Kids did ride jet-ski on the beach for a nominal price. We told our cabbie to come back in few hours to pick us up. Definitely worth spending 3/4 hours on this beach

Best Day of our Cruise
Jun 2019 • Family
This was one of our excursions we planned on our one week Royal Caribbean cruise. We also spent a day on Truck Beach St. John’s and Coco Cay a private island. But Penney was the highlight. From eating lobster we picked on the beach, to drinking specialty drinks while sitting in the water. Perfect for the whole Fonua Family.

Long, mainly sandy beach (although not the lovely white sand found on Antigua!)with several bars/restaurants.The main part was very busy and loud when the cruise ship passengers arrived, which was not what we were after, but may not bother others.

Assuming it's sunny all day, is morning or early afternoon better for snorkeling visibility? I'll be coming from St. Kitts so I want to avoid the cruise crowds if possible.

That depends on the weather really... Mid morning seems to be the best

Hi, If we are porting on a cruise ship in Basseterre what is the best & most time/cost effective method of transportation to Pinney's Beach? I have read water taxis but wasn't sure what to plan or reserve.

Water taxi worked great for us — took about 40 minutes from St. Kitts to Nevis. Loved Pinney’s beach — go to Sunshine’s for their great Killer bee!

What transport is available from cruise terminal to Pinney`s Beach

I arrived by boat. I would suggest a taxi from town. You could walk it if you really wanted to.

What is the estimation of tour costs? And, is it per person? Or, per bus/van full?
I've been to St. Kitts twice before. Both occasions, our group has gone to the same beach spot. This time there will just be 2 of us. Would love to see more of the island and other beaches.
Thank you!

We actually booked the trip to Nevis through the Marriott where we were staying. However, there are many personal options outside of this one. Most of the cab drivers are de facto tour guides and can arrange to pick you up from your lodgings and transport you to the ferry location with instructions on going to Nevis. Nevis as I'm sure you are aware is another island close by (about 30 minute ferry ride).
Personally, I think a package through one of the tour operators is much easier as they handle your ferry fees, access and arrange a tour with lunch included and beach time on Nevis.
