Bermuda: Private Beach Hop Tour with Rum Swizzle & Nature Reserve

Swim pink sands & wander wild coves on a relaxed Bermuda beach day

You’ll walk barefoot through pink sand at Horseshoe Bay, hear local stories from your guide as you hop between Bermuda’s best beaches, then unwind for hours at Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve with a cold rum swizzle in hand. Sea turtles might swim by while you sunbathe or wander wildflower paths: don’t be surprised if you want to stay longer than planned.

The experience

I almost lost my flip-flop in the sand at Horseshoe Bay (first stop of our Bermuda beach hop), and honestly, I didn’t even care. Our guide, Andre, grinned and pointed out how the limestone rocks curve around the cove like someone tried to hug the ocean. The water was that clear blue you only see in postcards (or so I thought), but it was real enough to sting my eyes when I dove under. There were kids laughing somewhere behind us and the faint smell of coconut sunscreen drifting by. It’s weird how you remember tiny things like that.

We wandered down to Warwick Long Bay next: Andre insisted it had the “pinkest” sand on the island, and he was right. I tried to take a photo but it never quite captured the color (my phone camera’s fault, not Bermuda’s). He told us stories about growing up here, about how Southlands Beach used to be part of some old estate nobody could visit. Now it’s just cliffs and wild waves and hardly anyone else around except us. Elbow Beach felt longer somehow, maybe because we walked slow and let our feet sink in. I kept finding little shells shaped like commas.

The last stretch took us all the way out to Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve, which used to be off-limits until not that long ago. Andre handed me a bottle of homemade rum swizzle (sweet but with a kick) and said we’d have four hours here to do whatever: climb the wildlife tower, look for sea turtles (I saw one poke its head up near some parrot fish), or just nap under an umbrella. The breeze smelled salty-sweet, mixed with flowers I couldn’t name. Honestly, time got fuzzy after that. I just remember sun on my face and feeling like I’d been let in on a secret. Getting picked up at the end felt too soon.
