Horseshoe Bay Beach |
|
|
We have traveled extensively and been to many beaches all over the world, but Horseshoe Bay Beach in Southampton Bermuda is special.
With a curved stretch of sand against the backdrop of blue waters of the Atlantic, this beautiful pink sandy beach forms shape of a horseshoe.
Horseshoe bay beach was rated as a favorite Valentine's day getaway for couples by the American daily USA Today. In our books, this beach is in the list of top ten of the world's best beaches.

Horseshoe Bay can also provide great snorkeling experience if you are willing to go a little offshore towards the rocks.
You will see variety of colorful fish like parrot fish, angel fish, wrasse, sergeant majors, snappers and more.
However the ocean can swell quite high at times. So try snorkeling here only if you are a good swimmer.
Sometimes we would rent beach chairs and spend long hours relaxing on the Horseshoe bay beach.

Port Royal Cove is also locally known as the Baby Beach. This is ideal for children to swim.
My son loves snorkeling in the shallow water here. There are reefs around this. One of his main attractions is to hand feed the parrot and angelfish.
The place is really picturesque and a photographer's dream.

There is a beach café at Horseshoe Bay called the Horseshoe bay beach café. The burgers are quite nice. It also sells hotdogs, chicken, fish, soda, water and juices.
Right opposite to the entrance of the beach on South Road, there is a nice Italian restaurant Tio Pepe. You can plan to take your lunch there. They also offer take away lunch packs.

My husband & I just returned from a cruise on the Norwegian Dawn. We are both very much Beach People. We visited Horseshoe Bay Beach & I have to say it's the closest thing to HEAVEN! We can't wait to go back again!

I have a pre cancerous condition of the skin and cannot be in the sun period, however, I still want to visit Horseshoe Beach while I am there in Sept of this year. My question is, can I rent umbrellas or are there cabanas to rent? Thank you so much for your help!!!!
Reply: There is a concession that rents beach chairs and umbrellas at the Horseshoe Bay Beach. It closes in the late afternoon. There is also a beach cafe.

My husband and I are coming to Bermuda by cruise in about two weeks. we have been to Horseshoe bay many times and love the beauty of the beach and water. Is the beach open all hours of the day, I would love to see the beach at sunset. can't wait to be back on Horseshoe bay. Reply: All public beaches in Bermuda are open from Dawn till sunset, and so is Horseshoe Bay beach. Public beaches are closed after sunset. Have a great vacation.

It's a beautiful beach, but I want to mention that during the few hours we were there (April 26, 2011), we saw numerous dead Portuguese Man of War washed up on the beach. I understand their sting is bad even after they are dead. There were lots of people on the beach who easily could have stepped on them with their bare feet, yet no warnings were posted. So my advice is, watch your step on that beach.
