Church Bay in Southampton Parish, Bermuda: The boiler reefs just offshore making for some of the best snorkeling.

Church Bay--This beach off West Side Road lies along Bermuda's southwestern edge, at the point in Southampton Parish where the island hooks off to the northeast. The waves pound much of the shore mercilessly, but rows of offshore reefs shelter Church Bay. Marine life abounds in the relatively calm waters, much to the delight of snorkelers. If you're just planning to lounge in the sun, this is a great place: The beach offers unusually deep pink sands. There are toilets at the top of the hill near the parking area, but don't expect much in the way of facilities (unless a concession has opened by the time you visit). Rent your snorkeling equipment before you get here. Take bus no. 2 or 7 from the City of Hamilton.
