meal, you will be able to enjoy some great music...jazz, blues, reggae, rock and classical. A Bit About Sunshine's
Sunshine is originally from St. Kitts, where he was employed by the Royal St. Kitts golf course as a caddy. He then went on to become a lifeguard there as well. Sunshine has always
had a love of cooking, and was working with a local tour company catering beach parties. He would be dropped off at Pinney's Beach in Nevis where with a grill and a cooler of beers, he would wait for the group of
guests. The Four Seasons Hotel was under construction at the time, and more often than not, the construction workers would come over to Sunshine and ask him to sell them beer
and food. Never one to miss a good business opportunity, Sunshine started bringing extra beers and food to sell. Alas the hotel was completed, and Sunshine was asked to move, as The Four Season's didn't like
the competition. Sunshine not missing a trick set up the beach bar right next to the
Four Seasons Resort Hotel However it was two long years before he got his first guest from the touristy hotel next door. Over the years
Sunshine's Beach Bar & Grill has burned down twice, and was destroyed by hurricanes 6 times, most recently Hurricane Lenny in November 1999. Every time, Sunshine has rebuilt - bigger and better! Through
the years thousands of visitors to Nevis have made their way down to Sunshine's including the likes of hockey player Wayne Gretzky, Led Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant, and actress/comedienne Tracey Ullman.....just to
drop a few names! Sunshine is there seven days a week, open for lunch and dinner during the high season (roughly mid October to mid April), and dinner
with a reservation during low season. There are nightly bonfires, and on the full moon of every month "The Full Moon Bash". This is an event not to be missed! Oh yeah, lest
I forget, Sunshine's can accommodate groups of 75 or more at the beach bar....given advance notice. By the way if you are sailing in the area, you can reach Sunshine on your VHF at channel 16. This season
Sunshine will have fresh fruit and vegetables available for all of you mariner types as well as trash removal. |
