First trip to Nevis and before arriving we knew we had to try the infamous "killer bees" at Sunshine's. So once we arrived, we jumped in our jeep rental and headed straight for this spot. A lot of other restaurants and beach bars around town have their version of rum punch - but the killer bee beat them all. We... More

We always enjoy independently owned restaurants (as opposed to chains), and especially love to find one where the chef/owner is passionate about what he does. That was evident as we saw "Sunshine" come out several times to chat with diners and even deliver some plates to the tables. Nice beach location. Fun, colorful seating with large cushioned benches; flags hanging... More

While staying at the Four Seasons, we wandered down the beach a couple of times to Sunshine's. It's a great spot to get some casual reasonably priced food & beers. There is nothing fancy about the Nevisian chicken wings but they taste delicious, especially paired with a Carib.

Go for the Killer Bee rum drinks and the delicious lobster, fish, and conch entrees. Had a fantastic lobster salad for $18--I kept wishing I had more opportunities to eat at Sunshine's! And, prices are a relief after meals at the Four Seasons.

Everyone knows Sunshine's for the famous Killer Bee rum punch, but I am always surprised by the high quality of the food, especially the salads and grilled fish. Sunshine's is a fun place to hang out and drink, but make sure you taste the great food while there.

Chilled relax atmosphere! great place to enjoy the beach and have a delightful lunch or just drink. Don't forget to check out all the photos on the ceiling and walls, many of them famous. The staff can be a bit abrupt and rude sometimes, a shame, this usually happens when Sunshine is not around.

It is also very reasonable in price!! Highly recommend the conch fritters and the red snapper!! THe chicken is also very good. Beware of... More

Another of the fantastic beach bars on Pinney's Beach! This one features the Killer Bee drink ~ it's a Painkiller, if you've been to Antigua or the BVI's, nutmeg-topped and all. The conch fritters are amazing, and we loved the conch in garlic sauce. The jerk chicken is also outstanding. And again, Island Time service should be expected. We got... More

It's kind of one of those places you just have to go to when you're on Nevis. The staff is warm and friendly, we even met Sunshine. His take on the rum punch is good and their seafood preparations are tasty, though hairpin bones abounded. The side salad to start things out was a a nice touch included with the... More
