Very beautiful beach and hubby and I had it all to ourselves. The water was a little chilly but still warmer than back in NH anyday. If the beaches were like this in NH I'd go every day.

It's a small, pretty, and public beach which can be crowded but the bay is plenty big and full of amazing coral outcrops that are some of the best I've ever snorkeled and the fish diversity is excellent. The outter reefs keep the waves calm and the snorkeling easy. The water was chilly for June due to its northern latitude,... More

This beach is secludid and beautiful. We took the bus to most places and they aren't marked so you have to ask where to get off. But it was amazing.

This is beautiful area with picnic tables looking out over a beautiful beach. We enjoyed exploring the rock pools and others were snorkelling. The reef is close to shore at this point so it is a great area for snorkelling. The washrooms were disgusting - definitely something that is a problem in Bermuda in general!

We were there in January so we did not go swimming or snorkeling but the was is so clear that we could see and take pictures of the parrot fish from the rocks. Definitely worth the effort!

Beach is not cleaned like some others...so there is a little trash and seaweed on the beach....but the snorkeling right off the beach is very good. Well worth the visit.

We visited Bermuda in July 2012, and took our kids to some of our old spots. Church Bay is beautiful, and has excellent snorkeling - as long as the waters are calm. There were heavy winds the day we went to Church Bay, so the visibility in the water was a bit cloudy. We were however, able to snorkel out... More

The park and beach are right off the bus stops locally and the views from the top are amazing! We went in early November so everything was quiet. Perfect for a picnic!

We went to several beaches in Bermuda, and Church Bay was definitely my favorite. It's small, intimate and absolutely breathtaking. Go there.

Small beach with an odd rocky ledge to get over, but once out, the reefs here are brilliant for snorkeling. Good parking. Nice park area above the beach.
