Beaches in Bermuda
Bermuda has many magnificent beaches, both large and small, most of which are public.
Pink-sand beaches and Bermuda are nearly synonymous, the coral-tinged strands provide pastel contrasts between shore and sea.
All public beaches are operated and cleaned by the Bermuda Government from whom all particulars about any specific beach, such as whether there are bathrooms and restaurants or beach bars should be obtained. They are all accessible by land and are free to the general public from dawn to sunset. Most Bermuda beaches are family beaches. A few have basic restaurants franchised from the Bermuda Government but usually with no bars. An exception is at Tobacco Bay in St. George's. Some public beaches have a basic bathroom or toilet, none have changing rooms or showers.
Public beaches close from sunset to sunrise. Don't be on a beach at night or before dawn. Sleeping on public beaches is not allowed.
In addition to Bermuda's magnificent public beaches a few private beaches exist, owned by individual hotels or home owners. All hotel-owned private beaches have licensed beach bars, often with full-service restaurants and changing rooms. These facilities are generally open to the public upon payment of a fee, which is often waived when dining at the restaurant.
