Church Bay

Bermuda


Take the steps down to this pretty beach with pink sand and sheltered nooks for sunbathing. It's one of Bermuda's best snorkeling spots, with boiler reefs just offshore attracting parrotfish and barracuda. The clifftop park above is a favorite with picnickers. You can see a long stretch of the coast from here, lapped at by swimming-pool-clear waves.
