Chaplin Bay

1.6 miles/ 2.6 kilometers | One of the best beaches on the island to find seclusion. This beach is surrounded by picturesque cliffs and is the perfect tucked away beach to unwind. We can rent and deliver umbrellas, chairs, towels, coolers, and food & drinks here for your own party. Just show up!

Stonehole Bay

1.7 miles/ 2.7 kilometers | Often referred to as the twin beach of Chaplin Bay, Stonehole Bay is a true gem on the south shore. It’s surrounded by rocky cliffs and rock formations that go out into the ocean to create a barrier to the other beaches left and right of it, and the sand develops a deeper pink color toward the edge of the water. Check on the tide before you visit – much of the beach becomes inaccessible during high tide and you need to get wet to get here if you come from Horseshoe Bay. If you come from the Stonehole Bay parking lot, you are OK to come through here at any tide.

Jobson’s Cove

1.9 miles/ 3.1 kilometers | Follow the pink sands of the beach down to a small cove that’s almost totally closed off from the sea by cliffs, creating a safe place for kids to snorkel and look for fish. The water is gentle and calm and the cliffs block much of the wind.

Warwick Long Bay

1.9 miles/ 3.1 kilometers | This half-mile stretch of pink sand is one of Bermuda’s longest beaches. Snorkel near the bay or explore the coral reefs off the beach. A lunch cart visits the nearby park during the summer, but doesn’t have set hours. This is a secluded beach where you should find lots of space for you and your group.

Whale Bay

2.4 miles/ 3.9 kilometers | Visit in March or April to spot schools of migrating humpback whales offshore. However, even if you miss the migration season, Whale Bay is a top destination for wildlife observation. During low tide, the coral reefs and the beautiful fish inhabiting them are easily accessible from the shore for snorkelers. Since this beach isn’t monitored by a lifeguard, be careful and always go out in partners. You can also visit the fort on top of the hill for an added adventure. Find Whale Bay Road across the street from the bus stop on Middle Road and take a 10-minute walk towards the very end of that road and the beach is the far back right of the field/park.

Astwood Cove Beach

2.9 miles/ 4.7 kilometers | This stunning, secluded beach is surrounded by steep cliffs that are home to local birds. Hike down the winding trail to a romantic beach that’s perfect for couples.

Hog Bay Beach

3.4 miles/ 5.4 kilometers | This really is more of an adventure than a beach. The beach is tiny, but the journey through Hog Bay Park is fun. Reach this well-kept secret through a rocky, wooded trail from the car park in Hog Bay Park to the shoreline. A true gem for snorkeling and swimming, Hog Bay Beach is also a destination for seashells and turtles that are attracted to the seagrass in the area close to the shore. Check out the rock pools to see crabs and other small fish trapped with the tides.

Elbow Beach

4.4 miles/ 7.1 kilometers | Named after a gentle curve that resembles an elbow, this pink sand beach on the famous South Shore hosts an aquarium-like variety of fish around the small breakers a short swim from the shoreline. Part of the beach is owned by Elbow Beach Resort, but the public section is quite a large beach and is popular with both tourists and locals. Rent paddleboards and other equipment from a watersports center in the hotel or explore the Pollockshields shipwreck with an escorted kayak – strong swimmers only, as this wreck is 200 feet from shore.
