Nevis Island to the Stars

Culture comes to the island of Nevis in many styles and one place to find it celebrity style is at Sunshines Beach Bar on Pinneys Beach.  Now Sunshine has lots of fine attributes, he cooks up and serves a terrific lunch of local fish including a superb amber jack and succulent conch known locally as Lambi.  He is also famous for the walls of his shanty style beach shack, which are festooned with pictures of him embracing guests as diverse as John Travolta, The Duchess of York and George Bush.

There is a healthy sprinkling of pops stars including; John Lennon, Roger Daltry, Beyonce and the rap singer JC.  From the world of film, we spotted Mel Gibson, Michelle Phifer, Jessica Sarah Parker along with Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones.

None of these of course, are the real reason to visit Sunshine because most people arrive at Sunshine’s looking to get stung by a Killer Bee.  This seemingly innocuous fruit drink is a dangerously addictive rum punch, made up using his own secret ingredients which include passion fruit orange juice, a handsome slug of local rum and the contents of a strange looking plastic water bottle that appears to contain roots and local leaves and grasses steeped in….you’ve guessed it, more rum.
