Beyond beautiful beach with so many opportunities for picture perfect photos. A few suggestions, don't take the public bus to this location unless you wish to walk down all the steps to the beach. The public buses which are great are only $5 if purchased on board or $4.50 for the token purchased before hand. That being said in this instance I would recommend you take a mini bus from your ships port, they are only $7 and take you right to beach. Yes they drive a little crazy but that adds to the adventure and in their defense roads are very narrow and there are many twists and turns. Second suggestion ignore the warning sign on the first large Rock at the direct entrance of the actual beach and climb to the top, great photos to be had! Third suggestion walk past all the crowds with their blue seats and umbrellas and keep walking and walking. Not all that far or you can swim over like I did. What will you find, little semi-secluded beaches with rock outcropping that not only provide some tranquility and privacy but even more gorgeous photo...
   Read moreWe went to Horseshoe Bay Cove and it was absolutely beautiful… but for my wife Fabia, it was her favorite place to swim in all of Bermuda. The cove is tucked beside the main beach and feels more private, with calm, crystal-clear water and that soft pink sand Bermuda is known for.
We spent hours just soaking in the view and floating in the cove. The water was warm and gentle… perfect for swimming without worrying about strong waves. Fabia said it was the best place she’s ever swum in, and I agree it’s hard to beat.
You can rent an umbrella and a chair for about $20 each, and the staff will help set it up right where you want to be. That made it easy to stay comfortable and enjoy the beach for as long as we wanted.
Even with other people around, it never felt too crowded… and if you walk a bit toward the far end of the beach, it gets even more peaceful.
If you’re visiting Bermuda, this is a must. Horseshoe Bay Cove is more than just a pretty beach… it’s the kind of place that stays with you. We’d go back in...
   Read moreThis is by far Bermuda's most famous beach. With this comes interesting consequences. Two cruise ships arrived on Monday morning and many passengers were heading to Horseshoe Bay Beach. Contrary to popular belief, this is not the only beach in Bermuda and a brief search on Google will show you others. Friends of the Azure of the Seas mentioned that's where they were going because it was the only beach mentioned to them. The beach experience can be less enjoyable having to climb over THAT many people. By all means enjoy Horseshoe Bay, but definitely do your homework regarding other less populated areas. The amenities here are top notch, including beach rental options, concession stands, clean lavatories and changing rooms, outdoor water stands for showering and rinsing sand off. Drink options and hot food are convenient. Transportation arrangements would be helpful prior...
