This beach was rated #8 in the world by Trip Advisor, but that is certainly a case of grade inflation. Frankly, Oak Street Beach in our hometown of Chicago is nicer than Horseshoe. Also the locals do the usual tourist gouging by charging $11 for a beat up chair and $11 for an umbrella that has a hard time standing... More

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

I couldn't believe just how blue the sky was or how blue the water was! This beach here is absolutely beautiful, especially with the rock formations. Make sure you climb up the large ones for a great view! The only downside is that the food from the food stand has steep prices, but that is to be expected. My husband... 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.
