More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a low-slung power catamaran onto the soft curve of Pinney’s Beach, salt air pushing at your face and Nevis Peak rising inland like a watchful neighbor. The day unfolds as a tactile loop — a brisk coastal crossing, a shaded drive through old plantation roads, short walks among 17th- and 18th‑century sites, and a slow afternoon with lunch and a beach chair under a shared umbrella.
