Bermuda's Beaches - Sandy's Parish
Parson’s Bay (Lagoon Park, Lagoon Road)
A sheltered area of each popular with the locals as a picnic
spot. It’s not near a bus stop, so you’ll need to get there on
your bike or moped. You’ll find it on Lagoon Road just before
it becomes Craddock Road. The strip has white sand and the
area is usually quiet.
Mangrove Bay (Mangrove Bay Road) Just a short distance from the
shopping area in Somerset Village.
It’s a favorite with the locals,
but is usually quiet enough
during the week for a picnic,
some sun and a swim. The
swimming is considered safe,
but it’s always best to keep an
eye on the young kids. It’s a picturesque
strip with mangroves
that line the beach and follow
the gentle curve of the shoreline.
Somerset Long Bay Park Beach (Daniel’s Head Road,Somerset Village)
One of the nicest public parks on the islands. Reminiscent of
the traditional English village green, it’s where the locals of
Somerset Village take time out on weekends for a picnic and
the eternal English game of cricket. Then there’s the beach,
also popular as a picnic spot, with its long, sweeping shoreline,
white sand and shallow waters. The swimming here is
safe for kids – at low tide the water is rarely deep enough to
give concern. During the week, you can count on having
most of the beach to yourself. Long walks, hot sun, snorkeling
and lazy days make this the ideal spot to get away from it
all. Restrooms are available in the park.
