Explore Pink Sand Beaches East to West

Clearwater Beach

Clearwater Beach There is a choice of beautiful beaches to choose from on St. David’s Island in the east end: Clearwater Beach is next to a playground and has a seasonal beach house; Turtle Bay is a lovely cove which is great for snorkeling; and the nature reserve boasts stretches of soft sand at the end of every path. Bus 6 from St. George’s Tobacco Bay Famous for its stunning limestone formations – natural sculptures that emerge from the glassy water, this picturesque, sheltered cove is also a snorkelers’ dream. The short walk from the old town of St. George is well worth it. There is a beach house for rentals, food and drink, in the summer months. Takes about 20 minutes to reach Tobacco Bay beach from Kings Square, St. George’s

John Smith’s Bay Off the beaten track in Smith’s parish, this popular locals’ beach is a little less crowded than the western south shore destinations, but still boasts soft sand and great swimming and snorkeling. The Harrington Hundreds grocery store is just a few minutes away by moped if you want to make your own picnic. Bus route 1 Shelly Bay A parent’s dream beach, Shelly Bay boasts warm, shallow water, a soft sandy bottom and backs on to a playground and sports field. A favourite for kids and novice swimmers – and close to the bus stop. Bus route 10 or 11 Warwick Long Bay To truly grasp the beauty of Bermuda’s south shore, walk the length of Warwick Long Bay and clamber across the rocks, or take a detour over the sand dunes, to Jobson Cove and Chaplin Bay. On a quiet day in the spring and summer you will see more longtails than fellow tourists. Bus route 7 Horseshoe Bay A crescent of soft, pink sand, lapped by clear blue water, fringed by sand dunes and bordered with sandstone cliffs, garnished with swaying palms – Horseshoe, in Southampton Parish, is the mecca of the island’s beaches and a must for every Bermuda visitor. Rum Bum Beach House is open in the spring/summer months. Bus route 7 Church Bay Swim with shoals of brightly coloured parrot fish among the pristine coral reef that pierce the water just yards from shore at this small south shore bay, widely revered as Bermuda’s best beach for snorkelers. Bus route 7

On Any given day... Find a Bermudaful beach and claim it as your own.

Local Fish The ocean’s Bounty

wahoo, tuna and mahi-mahi, while others drop their hooks closer to home, seeking rockfish and snapper. Many fishermen have well established relationships with the island’s restaurant chefs, from small family run grills to large hotels, and sell their catch before they tie up the boat at the dock. Delivery of a whole fish is commonplace – it’s not unusual to see a yellowfin tuna or wahoo carried through the restaurant to the kitchen where the chef is sharpening a knife. Every part of the fish will be used: fillets and steaks in the pan or on the grill; the rack, or bones, for fish chowder. Wahoo, a delicious member of the mackerel family, peaks in May, so look for pan-fried or blackened wahoo steaks – great for diners who don’t like their fish to taste too fishy. Yellowfin tuna appears in the spring and fall, and are best served seared and pink in the centre. When grouper, or rockfish, appears on the menu, take advantage! There is a catch limit on the species, along with restricted fishing in areas around the island during their spawning season.

As the waters of the North Atlantic warm up in spring and the local catch begins to increase, Bermuda’s restaurants adjust their menus to include the ocean’s bounty. Commercial fisherman head off shore to Argus and Challenger Banks in search of Barracuda Grill Seafood & Chops - Grilled Tuna The newest fish to appear on plates is the Indo-Pacific lionfish, an invasive species causing havoc on reefs around Bermuda, in the Caribbean and Western Atlantic. We now “eat ‘em to beat ‘em” and lionfish fillet has proved delicious; mild and flaky, similar to rockfish, snapper and hogfish.

Cottage Cafe - Rockfish Sandwich

To ensure you are eating locally caught fish, order from the specials board, check with your server or enquire when making reservations. Many menus include “Catch of the Day” and offer different preparation options, including the classic Bermudian favourite –pan fried with sautéed bananas and sliced toasted almonds. Delicious!

Cafe Amici - Wahoo Catch
