We came accross QE park quite by accident. We enjoyed a delightful stroll, admired the wild chickens, and rested for a while on a bench. We wished we had brought a picnic with us.

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.

This park is set in front of the ACE and XL buildings and nearby the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. It's often ignored because there is a wall next to the pavement/sidewalk and the view when walking is nice. It's a couple of minutes from Albouy's Point, but so much quieter. There are benches, sculptures and you can watch life go by out on the water. A nice place to sit and have lunch or a chat.

As a small park Spanish Point Park is ok but not spectacular. It’s free entry, well maintained but there are no facilities. If there were vendors present summer 2016 they weren’t there in October 2017. There is a small beach but it’s not much more than a thin strip of sand on the east side of the small, open bay (Stovell Bay). It’s not really a “destination” beach (not a Warwick Beach or Tobacco Bay). There are views out to Dockyard but it’s quite a way off. What makes a trip to Spanish Point Is the snorkeling. The northern edge of the park (facing the open ocean) is rocky and contains a few islands/exposed rocks close to the shore. It’s interesting to explore and contains a mix of species. It’s a little exposed but (been on the north of the island) is fine even in a relatively strong southerly. On the same day some friends snorkeled off Admiralty House Park and had a similar experience in terms of water conditions and sea life. This part is good but not spectacular. However … off the southern/ western end of the point is a relatively large wreck laying in pretty well sheltered very shallow water. At its closest point this is maybe only 5 metres from the shore and in 3 metres depth of water. Its acting as an artificial reef and has a host of sea life colonizing it. There is an abundance of sponges and a huge variety of fish. You can swim around the exposed part of the hulk into slightly deeper waters (5 metres or so) or snorkel above/ through other parts that are only a metre or so below the surface. The wreck is old and I didn’t come across sharp/ exposed metal but of course it may exist. Show care in the same way you would with the (sharp) exposed volcanic rocks here. I spent a long time in the water here. I really enjoyed snorkeling in Tobacco Bay (which also has good diversity and is maybe a slightly bigger area) but in terms of density of sea life I think this site is way better. The interesting nature of the wreck adds to this. (Note: I didn’t snorkel Church Bay so cannot compare.) Given you pretty much have to pass through Hamilton to get here (we travelled by bus, the stop is only 2 minutes walk from the park) it’s a great place to visit in a morning before looking around Hamilton in the afternoon.

This glass beach was formed by trash from Dockyard that was thrown out to sea many years ago. Unfortunately their is also some recent sharp glass there. If you have water shoes it is a lovely place for a swim as it is very calm. The glass is for all to see so there are signs at top telling you not to take any.
