    Top 10 Things to Do on Nevis

    August 27, 2017 / No Comments

    Some people think that when you’re on an island known for its natural beauty, there are few things to do but recline in a beach chair and soak up the sun.  Although that’s certainly an option on Nevis, there are loads of things to do when you’re not relaxing. If you’re looking for things to do on the island, here’s our Top 10 Nevis! Enjoy a Killer Bee Some people make the trip to Nevis just for the “Killer Bee” at the famous Sunshine’s beach bar on Pinney’s Beach. Few know exactly what is in this potent cocktail, other than a lot of rum and a sprinkle of fresh nutmeg…

    The Place to “Bee!” Sunshine’s, Nevis

    July 25, 2017 / No Comments

    Our first stop on our 2011 trip to Nevis was Sunshine’s, a Nevis institution and home to the famous “Killer Bee.”  This trip would be no different, except this time I would avoid the sting that follows consuming three of those delicious rum concoctions.  After a long day of traveling, beginning at 2:00 a.m. Nevis time, there was no question as to what we would be doing that evening.  Things have changed a bit in the six years since our last visit, but Sunshine’s hospitality and the great food and drink have not. For first timers, I would recommend that you definitely try the jerk chicken and the ribs.  If…

    Spirits of the Caribbean: Sunshine’s “Killer Bee,” Nevis

    July 16, 2013 / No Comments

    No list of the best spirits of the Caribbean is complete without a nod to the “Killer Bee,” found at Sunshine’s on the island of Nevis.  This refreshing rum cocktail has a way of sneaking up on you, so be careful to avoid the “sting.”  By my count, it hits you around your third drink. For more on the “Killer Bee,” and why Sunshine’s is one of our favorite beach bars, read our report here.  Or click here for our full, seven-part trip report on our journey to Nevis.  Cheers!

    Taste of the Caribbean: Sunshine Salad, Nevis

    June 28, 2013 / No Comments

    Today’s Taste of the Caribbean comes from Sunshine’s, the Nevis beach bar famous for the sting of their “Killer Bee.”  Sunshine’s is not only about great drinks, but has some of the best food on the island.  Among the tasty offerings is the Sunshine Salad.  When I asked what was in it, I was told it was “made with love.”  I can’t turn that down, and I wasn’t disappointed. For more on why Sunshine’s is one of our favorite beach bars, read our feature here.  For all the images and stories of our trip to Nevis, read our trip reports!
