A Visitor's Experience of
John Smith's Bay
By Steve Ross
I recently visited John Smiths Bay as it comes recommended as one of the best swimming beaches on the island.
We had a small child with us and we were looking forward to our day out. The beach was covered with literally hundreds of pieces of broken glass. Both on the sand and on the edge of the surf.
I took two handful of glasses to show the lifeguards who were aware of it but could not seem to do anything about it. The glass was everywhere and people were dodging it on their way across the beach.
I have been to many beaches around the world but I have never seen such a thing before. I am not sure who is responsible for cleaning the public beaches in Bermuda but what we saw at John Smiths bay was nothing short of an absolute disgrace.
If Bermuda wants to attract tourists who pay inflated fees to be there, it really needs to sort this out.
Shelly Bay beach was not as bad as John Smiths but there were many pieces of broken glass there too.
