Yes, these shores are pink, courtesy of sand mixing with the eroded, bright-red skeletons of reef-dwelling protozoa. And many of Bermuda’s loveliest waterfront stretches are public—the buses will take you right to them.

When locals say they’re going to “the beach,” this gorgeous, rock-bordered crescent is what they mean. Be aware that riptides sometimes make the water challenging for all but strong swimmers. For a calmer dunk, walk west to the cove known as Baby Beach.
Located near Flatts Village, the shallow-water north shore has tide pools to explore, an adjacent playground and soccer field, a snack stand, and—rare for Bermuda—shade trees, well positioned for picnics.
