Practical

ActiveCaptain (Oct 2025): used in SSW winds, good holding; it is right next to the Vance W. Amory airport and a landing plane passed barely above the masthead at sunset. The airport does not operate after dark. Outside the NASPA mooring area - check with the Port Authority before staying. Wikipedia lists Lovers Beach among Nevis's sheltered swimming beaches.
