Horseshoe Bay Beach
Bermuda's most famous pink-sand beach, with a horseshoe-shaped bay and small reef coves for swimming and walking along the rocks.
Horseshoe Bay lies in the parish of Southampton on the south shore. Its sand contains crushed red foraminifera shells, giving it a soft pink tint. The main bay has lifeguards, changing rooms and loungers for rent. The small coves among the reef rocks on the west side are good for children to paddle. The south shore coastal path runs east to a string of small bays around Warwick Long Bay. Entry is free. Afternoons get crowded in peak season, so go in the morning. Take Bus 7 to South Road and walk about 10 minutes.
