The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in Bermuda, Bermuda

December 2, 2021 Yuk Petri

Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

Jobson's Cove Beach

Reviewed By Lee929 - Eden, United States

Caught a bus from Hamilton and got off at Warwick Long Bay. After spending some time in the beach there, we decided to walk to Horseshoe Beach. Came upon this gorgeous cove after a short walk. This small cove is unbelievably beautiful and the water is perfect for small children to play in as it’s mainly protected from the larger waves coming in due to the smaller opening to the ocean.

We were walking around the St. George community and found this incredible Hidden Gem...by chance. We had found "The Unfinished Church" and as we walked around taking photos the road to the right of the entrance compelled us to keep walking. A short walk up the hill and down toward the ocean we found this beautiful beach "Tobacco Bay Park". Absolutely wonderful view.

While a bit small, there is still quote a lot to see at this place. The variety of fish species and view of Bermuda's underwater life is amazing. You can also learn a lot about Bermuda's history, both past and present. A good place to walk around leisurely and be entertained. If you are lucky you can catch the sea lions feeding and swimming, which is always fun.

Elbow Beach

Three hotels line this beach, making it popular with tourists; you might want to avoid this place if you're not into the Spring Break college kid party scene, which tends to crowd the beach during the Easter season.

We did not stay at the Elbow Beach Resort as we had cruised to Bermuda on the Celebrity Cruises ship, Summit. Booked a day pass through Resorts for a Day to the Elbow Beach Resorts beach. Beautiful beach and much less crowded than the popular and public Horseshoe Bay beach. Our pass included 2 lounge chairs, umbrella, small table and food & beverage service was available at our chairs. The loungers had very nice, towel-like covers that completely covered the chairs and they were changed whenever someone left and another guest was given that lounger. If you prefer not to eat at your lounge chairs just put on a cover-up and eat at the nice beachfront restaurant which is just a few steps away. We ate at the restaurant. It was good but expensive - as is everything in Bermuda. (Be warned - you do not get iced tea refills. If you want a refill it is charged like a new drink.) We took beach towels from the ship, but everything else you need for a great beach day is right there - food, restrooms, changing rooms, and showers. Highly recommend this beautiful beach. Note on the Resort for a Day package: We were disappointed in the transportation part of our Resort for a Day package. It is a 45 minute ride from Royal Naval Shipyard where our ship was docked to Elbow Beach (about the same distance as Horseshoe Bay is from the ship). The driver was very late arriving to pick us up from the ship and then after another delay he put us in a cab (which I guess he paid for - cab fare was about $45). He said he needed to wait for some other people. When time to depart Elbow Beach at 5:30 that afternoon our ride never showed up. After about an hour one of the Elbow Beach hotel managers had a bellman who was just getting off duty drive us back to the ship. This was a lengthy round trip (1 1/2 hr) for this gentleman as he lived right by the hotel. I assume hotel paid him. Never did know if it was resorts responsibility to provide the transportation we had paid for or Resorts for a Day. Nevertheless, the beach was wonderful. We learned while there that the main, original, very old - and beautiful - hotel building is not currently open. We assume it is being renovated. There are motel-like rooms on the beautiful grounds that were housing resort guests.
