CRUISING TO
BERMUDA
Photo Tour*
Page 6
Bermuda is a series of islands and is blessed with many sandy
beaches. The following is a sampling of some of them.
Secluded amongst towering rock faces is Church Bay at the
extreme western end of the Southampton/Warwick row of beaches.
Probably the most popular beach is Horseshoe Bay. The beach
has facilities including changing rooms and food services. People
tend to congregate at the end of the beach nearest the facilities. As
a result, the further end is more secluded with impressive rock
formations creating more intimate beaches.
The next beach to the east is Chaplin Bay.

BEACHES
Jobson's Cove looks like a movie set
designer's vision of a romantic island
beach.
The islands are coral formations atop the
remnants of an underwater volcano. Over the
centuries, the ocean has worn the coral and stone
down so that the islands have an abundance of
sandy beaches. On some of these, the white sand
has mixed with red giving the beach a pink cast.
The erosion has also created dramatic rock
formations.
Pictured here is perhaps the most attractive set of
beaches situated along the southwestern coast in
Warwick and Southampton Parishes.

SOUTH SHORE
Stonehole Bay is a smaller, secluded beach.
Warwick Long Bay as the name implies is a
long stretch of beach with an occasional
limestone formation worn down by powerful
waves that roll in off the sea.
Connecting all of the beaches along South Shore Park is
a trail that can be used for hiking or for horseback
riding.
Elbow Beach in Paget Parish is a world-class beach. It
is home to the internationally renown Elbow Beach Club
resort (right). However, there is also public access to the
beach for non-hotel guests.

George area. In the shadow of Fort St. Catherine is
