Cotton Ground
Cotton Ground is a west-coast town north of Charlestown on Nevis, defined by local village life and its proximity to the Pinney's Beach resort area.
Overview
Cotton Ground lies north of Charlestown on the west coast of Nevis, between the capital and the Pinney's Beach resort belt. The town occupies a strategic position on the road that links local settlements with the island's best-known hotel area.
Its role is mainly residential and community-based, with everyday village life continuing alongside nearby tourism infrastructure. The broader Cotton Ground Area covers that west-coast corridor, while the town page focuses on the village as a settlement rather than the whole strip.
Cotton Ground is distinguished by the contrast between its local village character and its immediate proximity to major resort properties and Pinney's Beach. That balance gives it a distinct place in the west-coast geography of Nevis.
