John Smith's Bay
The only public beach in the eastern Smith's Parish, with pink sand, shallow water and lifeguards. Suitable for family swimming.
John Smith's Bay is the finest beach in the eastern half of Bermuda. It is about 200 metres long, with shallow, clear water, and reefs nearby are good for snorkelling. Lifeguards and snack vans operate in summer. The beach is surrounded by residential areas, so there are noticeably fewer visitors than on the western south shore, and it pairs well with a visit to Spittal Pond Nature Reserve. Take Bus 1 and get off on South Road.
