My family and i have visited Horseshoe Bay beach for the 4th time, the beach was enjoyable, the sea water clean and refreshing, enjoyed watching the waves crash into the rock hill and they have a nice snack bar/restroom . Plenty of cabs are always ready to take you back to the cruise ships. Renting beach chairs is suggested. Walking... More

There is a small cave on horseshoe bay beach that you can go in. I first went in with a friend to take pictures then we met a super nice bermudian guy who told us about long tail birds in the cave so we all went back in with a flashlight (it's small cave but you have to go all... More

Traveling along South Rd provides a beautiful view of the coast and Horseshoe Beach. There is a very steep hill to walk or ride down by bus/scooter. If you are walking you should be physically fit or use the bus for $2. We rode down and back on our rented scooter. They have great facilities. A nice bath house with... More

Horseshoe Bay in Bermuda is a must see if you're on the island. It's the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. There is an alcove area ideal for little ones to romp and play in the water. The beach is pristine and the color of the water is stunning. The area has clean restrooms complete with showers and changing areas.... More

When I go back to Bermuda this will be the first place I visit and maybe the only. When we went on a cruise it was the last place we went on the last day...oh what a mistake! I could stay on this beach all day. Its beauty is simply breathtaking. The sand is soooo smooth, no shells or rocks... More

This was a beautiful beach, with fabulous views. We were there on a cloudy day with passing showers, but were able to explore the various areas of the beach, but didn't wander into the water. My one complaint was that if you want to rent chairs and an umbrella for two people it can run you about $33...a little pricey.... More

Couldn't wait to go to Horseshoe Bay while our ship was in port on 5/2/12. Absolutely beautiful! It was busy that day, but if you walk way to the left you can get to a more secluded part and another beach. The weather was perfect that day! They have bathrooms, changing rooms, food, drinks, umbrellas, chairs, etc........ Wish we could've... More
