Sunshine’s Beach Bar and Grill in Nevis named one of the 24 coolest beachfront restaurants by Condé Nast Traveler magazine
Charlestown, Nevis (February 2007) – Sunshine’s Beach Bar and Grill on Pinney’s Beach in Nevis is one of just 24 beachfront restaurants designated as “Sizzlers on the Sand” in the February issue of Condé Nast Traveler magazine.
Author Ian Keown scoured the Caribbean to present readers with the “coolest of the cool” and this is what he had to say about Sunshine’s: “At this laid-back beach shack, the standard driftwood-and-license-plate décor is jazzed up with eight-by-ten glossies of celebs posing with owner Llewellyn Caines, a.k.a. Sunshine. And given its strategic location at the edge of the Four Seasons resort, the cast is quite impressive. But the main attraction is the signature Killer Bee cocktail, whose ingredients remain Sunshine’s secret: ‘If I told you, I’d have to kill you.’”
Visitors have been sitting back and sipping on Killer Bees since Sunshine opened his beachside eatery more than 12 years ago. While the legendary owner is quite secretive about the exact ingredients in the Killer Bees, he will offer a glimpse into the recipe: “First there’s some rum, then some passion fruit juice,” he says. “Then some more rum.”
Sunshine’s is open seven days a week for lunch, dinner, dancing and drinking. The menu consists of a variety of tasty BBQ dishes, including fresh local lobster, fish, shrimp, chicken and ribs. The menu also includes a variety of delicious salads created from the bounty of vegetables and fruits grown right on the island. Open daily at 11am, Sunshine and his staff will keep the bar hopping and the music cranking until the early morning hours, just as long as the guests are happy and the Killer Bees keep everyone buzzing.
The island of Nevis is located in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies archipelago. This tiny jewel is just eight miles long and six miles wide, yet it has a natural beauty that is unparalleled. The Spanish explorers called Nevis, “Nuestra Senora de las Nieves” (Our Lady of the Snows) as a tribute to the white clouds surrounding the island’s central volcanic peak. Its green foothills support tropical rainforests, secluded valleys, historic plantations and the remains of sugar cane fields, while its turquoise waters lap palm-fringed beaches.
