Hog Bay Beach - Bermuda

Hog Bay
A secluded Beach in Bermuda

We discovered this stunning Hog bay beach during one of our vacations in Bermuda. This is like a secret treasure and very few know about Hog bay beach in Bermuda.

I probably wouldn't share with anyone and enjoy the exclusivity, unless my wife insisted to put it up as part of my website.

Hog bay beach is located in Sandy's parish Bermuda. It takes some effort to reach this beach through a trail in Hog bay park, but once there it is usually yours exclusively!

So why is Hog Bay so unknown in Bermuda. That’s because you need to walk quite a while through rocky and wooded trails to get to it, and it is only a beach at low tide. During high tide, Hog bay beach disappears completely. So the beach is usually available for you to enjoy only for about four hours a day. But for us that's a privileged exclusivity for four long hours, and we thoroughly enjoy the walk through the trails as well.

Trail to Hog bay beach Bermuda

As you walk through the park, there is a winding dirt trail leading past an old kiln near the entrance.

Then the trail rises past numerous tracts of agricultural fields and cherry, loquat and spice tree forests, before descending to serpentine seaside trail. At times it’s quite steep.

Follow the main trail down to the shoreline, and you will find this marvelous gem - Hog bay beach.

It's a tiny beach at low tide and a beautiful area for swimming and snorkeling.

At low tide, the shallows extend some 300 meters into the sea, and is excellent for snorkeling.

If you like to beach comb in search of some great finds, Hog bay beach is the place for you. We have found an amazing array of rare and unique seashells here, as well as some really cool looking pieces of driftwood.

Underwater sea grass attracts turtles here. So you should be able see turtles near the beach. There are rock pools around that contain crabs and sergeant majors. Depending on the time of the year, there can be many spiny sea urchins at Hog bay beach. So some kind of footwear is recommended. You can actually explore a long section of the coastline, with the wide south shore stretching out as far as you can see.

How do you reach Hog bay beach?

The beach is part of a spectacular wild park called Hog Bay Park in Sandy's parish which is owned by Bermuda government. The park's 32 acres of open space starts from a roadside car park on Middle Road and extends towards the coast in the west. It is on bus route #7. The park is open daily and admission is free.

I lived at Doubloon Hill Farm (which is now part of Hog Bay Park) during the mid to late 60s. I agree it is a gem.
