Lovers Beach
A quiet stretch of Nevis coast north of Pinney's, reached by a track and usually empty.
Updated 3 September 2026
Lovers Beach lies north of Pinney's on the Nevis west coast, reached down an unmarked track that most people drive past, which is why it stays empty when the main beach does not. The sand is pale, the water is calm on this side of the island and there is nothing built on it at all. Nevis Peak rises directly behind and St Kitts sits across the channel to the north. The stretch runs on north toward the golf course, and walking it from the Pinney's end is the simplest way to reach it without hunting for the turning.
What's there
- The emptiness - a beach with nothing built on it and few people.
- The calm water - leeward conditions on the Caribbean side.
- Nevis Peak - the mountain rising directly behind the sand.
- The unmarked track - the reason it stays quiet.
When to go
December to April is the dry season. The track is rough after rain. Weekends bring a few local visitors.
Things to know
There are no facilities at all and no shade to speak of. The access track is unmarked and rough. Sargassum affects this coast in some seasons.
Nearby
Pinney's Beach is south, and Oualie is north.
