Warwick Long Bay Bermuda
A Top Snorkeling Beach
This magnificent Warwick Long bay beach lives up to its name as the beach is close to half a mile long. Against a backdrop of grape and cedar trees and low grasses, this beach is a long and beautiful stretch of pink sands. Warwick Long Bay Bermuda lies on South Shore Park in Warwick parish and to the east of Horseshoe bay beach.

Secluded parts of Warwick Long Bay Beach
Warwick Long Bay actually covers an area of several beaches including Warwick Long Bay, Chaplin Bay, Jobson's Cove and Stone hole Bay. The largest of them is Warwick Long Bay and marked by two huge boulders offshore at the western tip of the beach.
It’s also a favorite location for early morning swimmers, joggers and the occasional horseback riders. The steep cliffs and shrubs that cover the hills offer good privacy to sunbathers.

There is a coral reef less than 60 meters from the Warwick long bay's shore and the reef seems to be floating on water. Despite the frequent winds, the waves are surprisingly small due to this offshore reef.

There are excellent snorkeling areas all along Warwick long bay beach. Large number of parrotfish feed along the water edge in the late afternoon. You can see them from the beach. A wonderful sight!

However, the shallow reefs that come out of the water surface at low tide can be a little tricky due to the surge.
A concession stand at the car park rents snorkeling gears during summer ( May to October months).
There is a nice children playground close to the Warwick long bay Bermuda. This beach area is full of birds.
A path runs through this area to the Jobson’s Cove. Many a time my son would take horse rides along this trail and I would follow him jogging all the way.
