We visited Horseshoe Bay while on a cruise. The sand was soft and white, but when the water hits the sand, it turns pink. You can rent chairs and umbrellas for $20.00 each. The lady taking money is not very nice and when we walked to a guy to show us our chairs as we were told to do, he walked maybe five steps showed us our chairs and asked for a tip. It was crowed, as we figured with two ships at port, but still had plenty of room on the beach and in the water. We had nice gentle waves and warm water. The fish swimming around the rocks were beautiful. We did not get food or drinks, brought our own. We changed in the bathroom/shower rooms before boarding our bus back to the ship. Loved our beach day and would definitely go back.

Stayed at the Hamilton Princess, and decided one afternoon to walk from their private beach to Horseshoe Bay, since it is the most famous strip of sand on the island. The walk took around 20 minutes, but was along a somewhat busy road, so on the way back I taxied. The water was rough on the day I went, so nobody was allowed to swim. Still, the views are quite nice, and the sand does indeed have a pink hue to it. There is a little cove over to the left side where the water was calm. Definitely more of a tourist beach, but still worth the visit.

We spent a day unwinding at Horseshoe Bay, indulging in a scenic stroll through the bush and along the cliffs to Warwick Long Beach. The journey treated us to breathtaking views and captivating rock formations that resembled a horseshoe. In some areas with rocky terrain, our trail running shoes proved invaluable. Despite occasional crowds, finding a tranquil spot to unwind and absorb the surroundings was never a challenge. While Horseshoe Bay is renowned for its pink sand, it may not appear as vibrant during Christmas and New Year, yet it retains its timeless beauty. For those travelling from Hamilton, the convenience of the number 7 bus offers an excellent transportation option.

Great, beautiful beach. Has everything you need: Chairs, umbrellas, pop up tents, food and drinks. Get there early on cruise days as chairs and umbrellas can sell out. The sand does have a beautiful pink hue to it. The water is nice and the times I have been the waves were pretty calm and we just floated on our floats (bring blow up floats). We BYOB and brought snacks. One time we rented chairs and a tent (they were sold out of umbrellas but it worked out well because the tent fit everyone in our group and provided total shade). The other time we walked the path at the end of the beach to other nearby beaches that are much more quiet and less people (one of the beaches was having a wedding). Horseshoe Bay is nice because it is so popular there are always taxis there ready to take you back.

I love traveling in the offseason/shoulder season. The beach was nearly empty! It really is as beautiful as you imagine it could be. The water is pristine, the sand is pink, the locals are friendly. This is a special place! We didn't have snorkeling equipment, but I literally just WALKED into the water (to the right, as you face the ocean) amid the rocks and LOOKED at the tropical fish in the crystal clear waters!! We will be back, and soon!!

We loved this beach. The sand was so soft and light pink. The water was nice, even though it was 65 out and windy the water was comfortable to go in. The day I went was pretty windy and there were tons of wind surfers which was awesome to watch. It was off season so there were almost no one there and it was nice to be able to walk around and enjoy the tranquility. There were small jelly fish in the water and washing onto shore. I thought one was a shell and touched it and realized it was a jellyfish. Luckily I did not get stung, as I only touched the squishy top. So I would say to be careful if you come during times where jellyfish are present. A lot of cool rocks and little caves to explore too which was fun!

A lifetime beach experience! Our "Celebration of Life" (20+ family & friends) enjoyed a "picture-perfect" day on April 17, 2024, at his is a top rated international beach. The weather of bright, clear sunshine @ 70 F. The water was clear and refreshing. The beach is extremely well managed by the Bermuda Park Commission. Umbrellas and chairs may be rented from a contract company for $20 each. This may seem "steep" ,however, it is a good value considering that you do not have to lug it. A shout out to the service staff. The staff could not have been more friendly and cordial. Limited beverages and snacks can be obtained from the consession service. Transportation to and from the beach for $7 per person each way. We returned to this iconic beach after 45 years and found it ever so nice. This is a lifetime "Bucklist" as is a visit to Bermuda. Do it!

Breathtaking! My husband and I hiked along the trail that ran along the coast (South Shore Park) starting at Horseshoe Bay. Every bay and cove we saw along the way was absolutely beautiful! We went all the way to Warwick Long Bay. Highly recommend this walk in order to see these spectacular beaches! The only drawback was the crowds at Horseshoe Bay. Bus loads and taxis filled with passengers from cruise ships. Understandable-since everyone wants a glimpse of this gorgeous beach. The beach was packed with umbrellas and lounge chairs. This scene just motivated us to walk to the other coves and beaches along the path. Our trip to the Cooper Island Nature Preserve the previous day was much quieter and peaceful.

Yes, the pictures of the beach are beautiful, but being there in person rendered us speechless. The sand is gorgeous, not only pinkish but powdery-fine, and doesn't get screaming hot like other beaches. The water is crystal clear, and safe for kids. All other beaches I visit from now on will be compared with this one. It's truly a magical foretaste of heaven. While it's true that there can be a crowd (a moderate one on the late May weekday when we visited), you can walk East until you find the level of solitude that you want. We were content to stay in the more populated section, since we enjoy people-watching. Chairs and umbrellas are rentable for $20 each; we rented only an umbrella and sat on our beach blanket. If you get there early enough, you may find a patch of shade up against the rocks, otherwise the beach is in full sun with no trees. There's a snack shack on site, and runners that will bring you food if you want to be lazy. All the workers were friendly and professional. We came from the cruise ship on the $7/person (each way) van, which is a bargain in Bermuda, and you can't beat the convenience. It's about a 1/2 hour van ride. You could take the public bus for even less, but it doesn't go down the side road to the beach; it would be a significant walk. You will want with you: Water, snacks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a towel.

Lovely Bermuda beach. Gets very crowded very early. But has all amenities needed. 2 beach lounge chairs and umbrella where $60. Cash or credit. Long lines and sell out if you don’t go early. Would I go again ? Yes. Loved being at the beach all day and the water.
