Recently visited Horseshoe Bay Beach during our cruise to Bermuda. It is a beautiful beach, and the sand really is pink- but you need to go near the water to find pink sand, A few tips if you go: umbrellas and chairs are available to rent- $11 ea. with a $5 deposit-keep the receipt. Food/drinks are available, but pricey- $17... More

This has to be one of the best beaches I have been to in the world. It is true that during high tourist time and when Cruise ships are docked it's horrendous as the over crowding is like being in a Theme Park, but it still is worth visiting to witness such a beautiful beach if you can't get away...

The beach is gorgeous, but very crowded and full of Pepsi umbrellas which cheapens it. Loud music blares from the cafe and chair rental area. When not crowded, it is a beautiful spot.

This beach is so beautiful. The entrance seems to be where people first migrate to. I suggest walking down where its not as congested. This gives plenty of room in and out of the water. The lifeguards are top notch they were able to spot the Portuguese man of war that my son was about 4 feet from. These waters... More

Absolutely stunning beach area with large volancic rock jutting from the turquoise blue clear water with powdered sugar sand! What more would you want in a beach? There are beach chair and umbrella rentals and a bath house too. In addition, there are one or two drink and food stands you go to if you want something. Even though it... More

This beach has got to be one of the most amazing beaches I have ever seen. My wife and I have been to Tahiti and seen some great beaches, however, this one sort of blew us away. The only problem with this was the crowd. Apparently EVERYBODY wants to go to this. When cruise ships are in, this is not... More

just returned home from a cruise on RCCL explorer of the seas to Bermuda. We docked in the morning and there were public buses and private cars and vans available immediately to accomodate the cruiseship passengers who wanted to go to the beach. Many people chose the pubic bus to Horseshoe Bay. A day day unlimited bus/berry pass was $25.00... More

Enjoy the large rocks that you can climb onto and have your picture taken. The water is clear and light blue; very refreshing.

You may need to time your visit to avoid cruise ship crowds. This beach is incredibly beautiful and worth the trip. Look for the longtails and their nests in the rocks. What a magnificent bird!

Horseshoe Bay was both beautiful and serene. There was a larger beach (for adults) and smaller, shallow beach on the right side for parents with small children. Unlike the other Caribbean islands, the beaches in Bermuda is divided by these huge rocks. My husband and I decided to walk along the beach. We were taken by surprise to find your... More
