15 Caribbean Beaches Where You Can Go Snorkeling Straight From the Sand

Pinney’s Beach, Nevis
Pinney’s is known for space — long, quiet shoreline, open views of St Kitts, and a sense of calm that sets the tone for the island. Slip into the water near the southern end and you’ll often find sea turtles grazing in the seagrass and small clusters of reef life scattered just offshore. The snorkeling here is gentle and unhurried, the kind where you move slowly and let the turtles decide the pace. It’s one of Nevis’ most authentic marine encounters.
