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.
Church Bay
South Shore Rd., Southampton
Close-to-shore reefs with lots of marine life make the south-coast bay one of the island’s top snorkeling spots. Plus, the sand here is among Bermuda’s rosiest.
Horseshoe Bay Beach
Off Horseshoe Rd., Southampton
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.
Shelly Bay Beach
North Shore Rd., Hamilton
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.
