Beaches

With so many things to do on land, water and in the air, you won’t believe how the time flies, and you’re sure to be planning your next trip before you bid goodbye to this one.

Astwood Cove

Tucked away in a steep cliff, this lovely beach is so remote that it is rarely crowded. The park overlooking the gorgeous cove has picnic tables and restrooms.

Warwick Parish (West End)

Black Bay

About three tiny beaches come and go here with the tide. Located in Ireland Island, this is a perfect spot for picnicking.

Sandys Parish (West End)

Chaplin Bay

At the southern extremity of South Shore Park, straddling Warwick and Southampton Parishes, this small but secluded beach almost completely disappears during storms or particularly high tides.

Southampton Parish (West End)

Church Bay

This picturesque beach is a snorkeller's paradise, since the reef is very close to shore and provides shelter from the waves. The relatively calm waters harbour a colourful variety of marine life. There is a concession stand at Church bay where you can rent snorkelling equipment and buy chips and soda.

Southampton Parish (West End)

Clarence Cove

Two fairly secluded little beaches form an exquisite lagoon-like setting around a part of the North Shore. Swimming is safe here year-round.

Pembroke Parish (Central)

Clearwater Beach

Located in St. David's, the spaciousness of these two sandy beaches is ideal for families and parties. The 36-acre public park features nature trails, playground equipment and views of some outer islands reserved for wildlife.Both beaches were artificially created for army personnel.

St George's Parish (East End)

Daniel's Head Beach Park

In Daniel's Head Beach Park, 17 acres of coastal beauty, you will find two beaches where the water is always calm and shallow. Snorkellers love to visit for the angelfish, sergeant majors and wrasse.

Sandys Parish (West End)

Elbow Beach

Pale pink sand stretches for almost one and a half kilometres / one mile at this lovely beach, which has a gentle curve like an elbow. And because of the protective coral reefs that surround it, Elbow Beach hosts one of the calmest shores on our island, perfect for swimming and body surfing. This is one of the closest beaches to the City of Hamilton.

Paget Parish (Central)

John Smith's Bay

This superb beach is long, flat and boasts the pale pink sand that makes our South Shore so famous. During the summer months, a lifeguard patrols the shore, and soft drinks and snacks are often available for purchase. There are toilets and changing facilities on site.

Smith's Parish (East End)

Mangrove Bay

This bay is a favourite for fishing, sailing and swimming. The mangroves and the gentle curve of the shoreline give the bay a serene, picturesque quality.

Sandys Parish (West End)

Parson's Bay

This sheltered beach boasts coarse, white sand and shallow, calm water ideal for children. It may be off the beaten track, but it's well worth the journey.

Sandys Parish (West End)

Shelly Bay Beach

You will discover calm waters and soft pink sand at this attractive beach. Trees line the beach, offering shelter from the sun. The water is very shallow, even at high tide, making it perfect for children.

Hamilton Parish (East End)

Somerset Long Bay

The isolation of this photogenic beach will appeal to anyone searching for an escape. With about a half-kilometre / quarter-mile of sand, the crescent-shaped beach and tranquil waters are ideal for beach walking.

Sandys Parish (West End)

Stonehole Bay

Here you will find a stunning combination of water, sand and rocks. Listen to the swishing sounds of the ocean against the limestone rock formations. Like many of our South Shore beaches, it may be small, but it is undeniably gorgeous.
