Dive into the water with a guide and discover the ruins scattered on the ocean bed.

4. Church Bay

Church Bay is one of the most preferable snorkel spots for scuba diving and exploring the marine life easily due to its close proximity to the shore. Brush up your swimming and snorkeling skills at other beaches to easily snorkel in the deeper waters of Church Bay.

Put on your water shoes to avoid getting your leg cut on the rough salty rocks.

5. Somerset Long Bay

Somerset Beach stretches along the South Shore. It offers the most beautiful beachfront of all the Bermudian beaches along the way. Its proximity to the ports of Royal Naval Dockyard makes it more accessible to the tourists. Take a walk in the nature, go bird-watching whilst tanning at the Long Bay Nature Reserve. The salmon colored sand will remind you of Horseshoe Bay. But this beach is less populated for you to enjoy its beauty in solace. Adventurers can go kite-surfing and the others can relax at the beach and enjoy the superb sunset at the beach.

6. Tobacco Bay Beach

The beach earned its name when the survivors of the wrecked ship Sea Venture discovered tobacco growing on the beach in 1600s. Enjoy the sight of this pristine beach with limestone formations.

The salty rocks can cut your toes so make sure to carry aqua shoes to the beach park. Proceed with caution and ask the locals or fellow tourists about the climatic conditions. Admiralty House Park is easily accessible from the city of Hamilton. The park also features a number of caves sectioned out by the British military in the 1800s.

9. Warwick Long Bay

Warwick Long Bay is only over a mile away if you wish to get some quiet and get away from the touristy hustle-bustle of the Horseshoe beach. Seek your bliss as your toes touch the soft pink sand. Walk around the dunes and bluffs. Put on your slippers and climb a high rock for a better view. Spend a romantic evening with your partner or bring a book to chill and revel in the beauty of this beach.
