Pineapple is located on Water Bay. Beach is ok, water has seagrass, there is a walking path to Fungis (restaurant). Beach is usually sparsely populated to unpopulated. The resort that is also located on Water Bay has been closed for a while but the grounds are still pretty well kept; you can tell some buildings have been closed for a while, pool is fenced off etc. A security guard is posted at the entrance gate for the resort, which is also the entrance for Pineapple and a security guard or two are usually beachfront and walking around. Area the property is located in is called Smith Bay; largely residential but along the main road there are a couple restaurants, shops, gas station, small store, fruit stands, sometimes fish stand and then along the road to Coki Beach there is a dive shop and some other things. Some of the area along the main road has a bit of a seedy element going on, particularly at night.
