Bermudian ex-bartender checking in. First off, thanks for visiting and documenting your travels! It's always a distinct pleasure to see our island through the lens of visitors. With regards to the swizzle, you'll find a lot of Bermudians swear by letting swizzle rest for a few days after being mixed, so swizzle made a few days in advance and then stored in large jars is actually quite common amongst locals especially out on boats, house parties, and at the beach. Just letting you know so you don't feel like you got ripped off, you actually got a much more local experience. Hopefully they topped it off with some extra rum after pouring from the jar though (that's also the local way). Off to watch the rest of the video! Thanks again for visiting, hopefully we'll see you back someday.
I love it when someone in the know of local customs chimes in. Sometimes as travelers we are looking for such information and you have done a great job of providing it. So thanks, Nathan Swan❣
FYI: Anyone visiting Bermuda, Horseshoe Beach is world famous. HOWEVER, thousands of tourist go there week in and week out trampling the pink sand away. Imagine ships arriving week in and week out carrying between two and six THOUSAND passengers each. BUT if you walk just a few coves down towards Chaplin Bay and Especially Warwick Long Bay. It’s less visited but the sand is SUPER pink! Trust me!! Literally a 5 minute walk on the trail. These beaches are just as big and beautiful but because they don’t have the huge concessions and chair rentals it’s less visitors. But AWESOME video!
Horseshoe Bay is nice but I like St. Catherine's Beach more. It's over in St. George. Those Rum Swizzles are AMAZING!!!! Did you guys see any "Moon Gates"? The locals say if you take a pic while standing in the Gate on your Honeymoon your Marriage will last for all ages. Well my wife and I just had our 19th Anniversary on May 24th. So it's working so far :)
I really enjoyed your Bermuda travel vlog! You all were naturals at conveying the essence of Bermuda's unique features. And...I'm Bermudian!!! Thanks for a job well done.
Nice video guys! If you would have gone a few beaches east of Horseshoe there are a few very nice & peaceful coves where you would have seen a lot more of the pink sand mixed in. Also the weather on that day was a high of 74 degrees farenheit ( low was 68 ) . We don`t think 80 is cold lol.... its 77 today May 26th and we`re all at the beach and using a/c when we get home....But really great views of our country and cuisine ! Thanks guys and hope you can get back!
Thanks for choosing Bermuda to vacation. Next time head down to the Tuckers Point Beach near the Mid Ocean club, Smiths Parish. It is private but you can still get access to the beach and find the most pink sand than on any other beach. By the way the prettiest beaches are in this area including Windsor Beach which is private and the beach in the nature reserve on Clearwater Beach St Davids. Regards
Also a traditional Bermuda fish sandwich is fried white fillet with coleslaw and tartar sauce. My personal favourite is cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, tartar sauce, and hotsauce. It's to die for. PS I am a St Davids Islander, the home of the best Bermudian seafood classics like fish chowder, conch fritters, fish sandwiches, and half shell lobster.
Horseshoe Bay is beautiful but a nightmare when crowded. Bermuda has the most beautiful water but those Portuguese man-o-wars are dangerous. That lighthouse needs a darn elevator 😀 but the views are amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed this as it brought back fond memories. Thanks for sharing.😎
Did you know it is illegal to take sand off the beaches in Bermuda. $500 Fine and/or 30 days in jail. But glad you enjoyed your trip, I have been there at least 12 times and want to go back again. Can't believe you were not at the Swizzle Inn.
Horseshoe Bay Beach. What a gorgeous place. I could so sit there all day. If you want to see pink sand, try Prince Edward Island, white, pink, and red all on the same island. One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
We went to Bermuda, but not by a cruise ship. It is a beautiful place but soooooo expensive! When you mentioned the cost of the beer, it reminded me of how expensive the food & drinks were.
the beaches with the pinker sand are further east like the aptly named PINK BEACH. As a local I do like the fish sandwiches from woodys , that was a great choice and YES BERMUDA IS EXPENSIVE but that 14 dollar beer is not the norm.
Bermuda is the most beautiful island…have been 5 times..we have resident friends who took us everywhere on the island..it is VERY expensive…the beaches are the best."…amazing..especially in the summer months..Horseshoe is fab…jumping the waves…we like Coopers Island..(the best)…but you can only get there by scooter..snorkelling is fab at coopers, church bay…sand is pink if u gather the sand in a glass..pink coral will be visible.. Elbow beach is gr8 too..we stayed at Coco reef hotel one time and had lunch at ‘Mickeys’ on the beach at elbow resort..just along from Coco. For ice cream ..Baileys is fab and up at dockyard another fab ice cream place (can’t remember the name)..bring back so many nice memories..loving the vlogs guys x
Welcome to my island and I hope you really enjoyed your stay. If you decide to come back,you need to come back at the end of July/beginning of August(Emancipation Day /Cupmatch Day).
When I was in Bermuda in October, a local explained that the pink sand is slowly disappearing. It was caused by a type of red coral in the area that can tolerate the cooler water temps of the North Atlantic, but the coral’s been going extinct, so the beaches will be less pink as time goes on until the coral goes completely extinct
Thank you Bermudian here and you nailed it 💯 I'm 37 and i grew up with pink sand i have a bottle of pink sand here with me in the uk for memories but you are 💯 correct
Hey you guys, another Bermudian here. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip. Your footage is awesome! If you guys come back, shoot for Mid June. There's the hero's day holiday, the water will be warmer and summer will be in full swing. Aside from the Rum Swizzle, also try Bermuda's other national drink....the Dark-n-Stormy! Fish sandwiches are a point of pride for our local restaurants, to the point that competitions are held. Regarding the pink sand...Horseshoe Beach is certainly the most popular, however the sand is very fine, the beach to the East of it, Long Bay Beach, the sand is a bit more corse and you can really see the pink granules better. Cheers you guys!
When I make my friends receipe for Rum Swizzes, I freeze it and all the juices and liquor really get better with time. I LOVE ME A RUM SWIZZLE BY THE POOL, but you have to be very careful because they are so good. I love Horseshoe Bay it is beautiful. We went in May and the ocean was very cold. I did put my feet in it, but that was it. I love Bermuda, and it will always have a special place in my heart. Fourways Inn Restaurant is a very nice restaurant. It is beautiful on the inside made with special Bermuda wood. Like you said before, it is very expensive. My friend used to come here and we would go shopping and he would take things back with him, things were cheaper here in North Carolina. Your videoes of Bermuda bring back so many memories of Bermuda. The houses all have white roofs to collect their water from the rain. They have a filtering system for their running water. Families are only allowed one car because the island is so small. I love Bermuda.
I would love to stay in one port for a couple days. In 2018 we went to Curacao on The Vista, we didn't leave port til 9 or 10 p.m. it was great! Did Excursions during the day, got back on the ship, ate dinner, got back off the ship and walked around the port and just hung out, took pics and listened to music all evening. Great time! ☺️
Love following along with your adventures. ❤️ It’s great when you let us know the cost of things, as we then know if we would consider doing that or eating or drinking there in the future.
My husband and I are truly enjoying your adventures. We have been hooked line and sinker! We now have Bermuda on our to do list . We are cruisers too❣️❣️❣️
Bermudian checking in too! ❤🇧🇲I’m so glad this popped up on my TH-cam page! Loved the video! The quality was so good!! Thanks for taking me up the lighthouse😆 haven’t been since primary school! 🤣 The cut to you guys walking out of bonefish is hilarious! 🥲it’s too expensive here!
This my island guys. I’m so glad you made it. You have to try other beaches where the sand is really pink. Pink Beach is name of one and it’s deep pink. Smiths Parish. Summer will be best time.
If you have a chance, please say hi to my friend Al, who is playing the piano onboard! I just told him I follow you two on TH-cam, and that you are onboard. This is his first contract since before cruising shut down. I hope to be able to join you all on one of your group cruises one of these days! Just tell him it is his New Mexico friend, as he won't recognize this name. Love your videos!
Just got back to Boston from my NCL Cruise on the Pearl to Bermuda yesterday! We definitely rented the umbrella and chairs in that lagoon area, gorgeous! Water was still pretty cold, but was able to stay in longer -- trick is, get some Rice Krispie cereal from the complimentary room service breakfast, sprinkle that in the water and you'll get fish swimming up to you very quickly! 🐠
Horseshoe Beach is the prettiest beach in the world. When we were there in 1984 there were two guys sculpting a figure of a couple engaging. They were from London. Very interesting!!!
my hubby and i love your channel so much, and i think i tried to lovingly mention this before, but not sure you saw it so i would like it just mention again. I am 58, never heard of an “a1c” blood test before, no dr ever offered it, until i saw videos about it right here on youtube. soooo, i asked for one for my hubby and me and sure enough, we are both pre diabetic. please, consider getting this, its a 3 month average blood insulin/sugar test vs a one day blood sugar/glucose level test, that tells you if you are going in the wrong direction. i love food as much as you all do, but your hubby has the right idea, cut those carbs but still enjoy food. all i am asking is that you get that a1c test. you do NOT have to fast 10 hours for the a1c, as its an average, but you do for the one day glucose test, but your body works hard to regulate everyday blood sugar so it doesnt tell if your a1c level is too high so the a1c tells if you are becoming pre diabetic, which is reversible, where full blown type 2 may not be, so, im begging you, out of love, to just get the test. i had to push my hubby to get his and, like i said, we are both pre diab, and i knew we were getting there just by signs and things that were going on with us. so, we dont suffer at all, but we cut back the carbs here and there and we both lowered our a1c, but we have a little more to go and will test again soon. love you guys!
I’m booked on the NCL Aqua for September and hoped to find a Bermuda video from the two of you. Was not disappointed! Will definitely be skipping the lighthouse since I’m a lot like Alissa when it comes to those types of steps.
Would have loved to have known you were heading to Bermuda. If you want a Swizzle, you should have gone to the Swizzle Inn. It is before the causeway that leads to the airport and St. Georges. To answer your question from yesterday, most of my Bermuda cruises have been with high school classmates. Many in the group get off the ship when it docks, and get back on when it is time to sail. The first time I made the trip to the top of the light house was in 1962.
Nice video guys. I live right across the street from horseshoe it’s actually one of the least pink beaches on the island. If you carried on walking east of horseshoe down south shore you would have ended up at Warwick Long Bay and it’s wayyyy more pink than Horseshoe. Hope you guys had a good trip, hit me up if you ever come back and I’ll show you some cool hidden stuff.
We went up to the top of the lighthouse in Tybee Island, GA. I was anxious about the heights but I didn't realize how dizzy I'd get going around and around🥴 There were amazing views and I'm glad we did it, but I think I'm good for next time! Bermuda looks absolutely stunning! It's on our list and may be moving up! Thanks always for sharing!!
Go to snorkel park and try the shark oil drink..you could probably run the scooter on it. I love bermuda, my favorite island to visit. Really like st. Kitts also. 3 days to explore is great. Friendly and safe.
The Last time I was in Bermuda, we went on a private boat tour of the islands. We were stopped and just floating when another boat pulled up to say hello. It was Ross Perot, former US presidential candidate. We talked for a couple minutes and then he was on his way. My son was 11 and he kept saying "who was that man?". Lol, everyone was so nice and helpful in pointing out places to go and see. I can't wait to go back again!
Wahoo is a favorite of ours. If you go deep sea fishing out of Rockport in TX etc you can catch wahoo out there...very tasty. Never had it on raisin bread! We grill ours.
Ty for climbing the lighthouse for me and my bf. We’re going to Bermuda soon. We won’t be climbing the lighthouse too much work for me cause I’m lazy lol
Did you recognize it when you went over the smallest drawbridge in the world? I’m so jealous. I love Bermuda. We’ll be going on the Beyond in October and it’s first stop is Bermuda! Woohoo!
Thank you for visiting our little Island in the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean!! 🙂I'd just like to say, that to avoid the Portuguese Man O War, the water is usually clear of them after May, up too the middle of June. Take care and come again! Peace.
Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful island. You showcased the beauty of my island home very well. I'm curious to know if you were actually able to get the sand back to your home. Many people have tried and failed because taking sand from the beach is actually prohibited 😄.
I saw pink sand but not very pink just a tint of pink!!! Staying in port sounds awesome!!! We are looking at doing a cruise that we will be able to stay a few days at a port!!!
Ok so first things first....Swizzle!!! Only go local for the swizzle (find an uncle ...u wont think rum puch after that and ull overstand why its called Swizzle lol) ...bars will always never taste right because it has not gone through the fermentation process.....second the "pink" sand is from bits of coral and depending on what beach can be more gritty than others......enjoyed ya video chaak u laydda xo
I got stung by a Portuguese Man O War when I was 4 years old in Ft Lauderdale. It was mixed in with some seaweed in the sand, and I stepped right on it. I remember screaming and some man scooped me up (with my mother in tow) and ran me to the life guard hut where they poured ammonia on my foot to relieve the sting. That was 50+ years ago and I still remember how much it hurt 😢
Hiiiiii Jason and Alyssa..hope I spelled your name right?..lol.. anyways, love all your videos and some others as well great videos too!! It’s because of all your videos that I love cruising and going on cruises, amazing keep them coming. My favorite so far of all your videos, and i mean there’s so many but I have to narrow it down to just a little handful. I love all the Celebrity ships, PARADISE ISLAND, and of course HAWAII!!!! Love it, love it, love it! Thnx for sharing, and I mean really I enjoy all your videos! Btw, great couple too, and family as well! Blessings, keep them coming look forward to them everyday(if that’s possible) lolol…happy cruising!!!!!😘
I’m so happy you enjoyed your time here but not to down grade you but your kinda not allowed to take the sand out side of Bermuda. The water gets much warmer in the summer so I hope you come back
Have been to Bermuda around 5 times..we stay with residents (our friends)…sand is defo pink! Not pink pink but when u put it in a glass and take home there are pink coral within in it…yes rum swizzle is good as well as the ‘Bermuda triangle’ alcoholic drink. ..👍 the scooters are the best way to get around..other than tAking the pink buses….The Reefs resort is good too…lots of beaches in Bermuda that are beautiful…Coopers Island is fabulous..not many people..but only accessible by scooter..yep been up Gibbs lighthouse…yikes didn’t like the high…the BUEI exploration centre is gr8 too
I live in Bermuda, 1 you really shouldn't take sand from any beach cuz there is bacteria, just like shells and cedar wood and 2 its not the rum swizzle, its just rum swizzle. we Bermudians make it almost every weekend in our kitchens to last us threw the week of having to live in this hell hold.
Hellhole? Bermuda? Oh, well, we all think the grass is greener on the other side. Having cruised to Bermuda many times, I would love to get to know some Bermudians, experience living there for a while. Never going to happen, but one can dream, lol.

Ahhhh gotcha and thanks for letting us know! But... no rum floater....
I love it when someone in the know of local customs chimes in. Sometimes as travelers we are looking for such information and you have done a great job of providing it. So thanks, Nathan Swan❣
the beaches use to be pink but thanks to all the pollution thats killing the reefs the sand isnt that pink anymore unfortunately
FYI: Anyone visiting Bermuda, Horseshoe Beach is world famous. HOWEVER, thousands of tourist go there week in and week out trampling the pink sand away.

The locals say if you take a pic while standing in the Gate on your Honeymoon your Marriage will last for all ages. Well my wife and I just had our 19th Anniversary on May 24th. So it's working so far :)
We did not!
Congratulations on your 19 anniversary!
We're about to celebrate our 41 st anniversary. ❣️❣️ Time flies when your having fun.
I burst out laughing when you flipped the camera around on Chris and his Orange slice car.🤣🤣😂😂😂
I really enjoyed your Bermuda travel vlog! You all were naturals at conveying the essence of Bermuda's unique features. And...I'm Bermudian!!! Thanks for a job well done.
I am also Bermudian

Also a traditional Bermuda fish sandwich is fried white fillet with coleslaw and tartar sauce. My personal favourite is cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, tartar sauce, and hotsauce. It's to die for.

Hi! I'm a Bermudian and enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing our beautiful island.
Horseshoe Bay is beautiful but a nightmare when crowded. Bermuda has the most beautiful water but those Portuguese man-o-wars are dangerous. That lighthouse needs a darn elevator 😀 but the views are amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed this as it brought back fond memories. Thanks for sharing.😎

Horseshoe Bay Beach. What a gorgeous place. I could so sit there all day. If you want to see pink sand, try Prince Edward Island, white, pink, and red all on the same island. One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Thank you for showing the beauty of my Island home! You definitely need to come back and explore more.
Bermuda is my all time favorite destination. Thank you for this awesome video.
We went to Bermuda, but not by a cruise ship. It is a beautiful place but soooooo expensive! When you mentioned the cost of the beer, it reminded me of how expensive the food & drinks were.
My wife and I love watching you guys! We love you man! ❤️ Smash that like button folks! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🤜
Nice video! Thanks for visiting Bermy! We’d love to see you back sometime! You can tour Tom Moore’s jungle 😎
the beaches with the pinker sand are further east like the aptly named PINK BEACH. As a local I do like the fish sandwiches from woodys , that was a great choice and YES BERMUDA IS EXPENSIVE but that 14 dollar beer is not the norm.
FYI for your next trip, Warwick Long Bay has a coarser grain of sand and the pink is more visible. :)
Thank you for visiting Bermuda 🇧🇲
The Reefs is my absolute favorite hotel in South Hampton Bermuda. I cannot wait to go back to Bermuda and stay there again.....
Bermuda is the most beautiful island…have been 5 times..we have resident friends who took us everywhere on the island..it is VERY expensive…the beaches are the best."…amazing..especially in the summer months..Horseshoe is fab…jumping the waves…we like Coopers Island..(the best)…but you can only get there by scooter..snorkelling is fab at coopers, church bay…sand is pink if u gather the sand in a glass..pink coral will be visible..

So sad. The wife and I were in Bermuda over 25 years ago and the pink sand was everywhere. Deep pink.
Thank you Bermudian here and you nailed it 💯 I'm 37 and i grew up with pink sand i have a bottle of pink sand here with me in the uk for memories but you are 💯 correct
I grew up with in Bermuda n I’m 13yrs old I really miss the pink sand
Im Bermudian n Ive never heard dat one b4 (colour disappearin). Maybe its true but as far as d pink color goes, it comes from d corals n shells.
You're 100 percent right. Less coral- less pink sand. and it's not slowly disappearing. It's close to gone. (Bermudian)
Great review of my island home!
Awesome Videos!!! Thank you for showcasing my island home!!! There a lots of cool places to visit when you have wheels!!!

My cousin & I made it to Elbow Beach & it was so worth it. Thank you for video, it brought back such great cruise on Celebrity Summit back in 2016.

I got dizzy just watching you walk up and down the lighthouse. You are very brave!!
Go to snorkel park and try the shark oil drink..you could probably run the scooter on it. I love bermuda, my favorite island to visit. Really like st. Kitts also. 3 days to explore is great. Friendly and safe.
I get a magnet every trip I go on! Don’t feel bad I froze trying to climb down the stairs at the lighthouse in Maine
The Last time I was in Bermuda, we went on a private boat tour of the islands. We were stopped and just floating when another boat pulled up to say hello. It was Ross Perot, former US presidential candidate. We talked for a couple minutes and then he was on his way. My son was 11 and he kept saying "who was that man?".

Thank u for the guide going in July! U both r great!
The sand at Warwick Long Bay has the pinkest hue. Loved the video.
Wahoo is a favorite of ours. If you go deep sea fishing out of Rockport in TX etc you can catch wahoo out there...very tasty. Never had it on raisin bread! We grill ours.
Ty for climbing the lighthouse for me and my bf. We’re going to Bermuda soon. We won’t be climbing the lighthouse too much work for me cause I’m lazy lol
I agree with your idea to have more multiday stops. We did a repositionng, Miami to Barcelona. A second day in Lisbon would have been really nice
Looks so nice.
Did you recognize it when you went over the smallest drawbridge in the world? I’m so jealous. I love Bermuda. We’ll be going on the Beyond in October and it’s first stop is Bermuda! Woohoo!
How are u like my homeland thanks for coming 💓
Great video!! Felt like I was with you. Yeah, $14 for a beer????? Yeah, get one on the ship. Thanks for sharing :)
We did the mini car and saw the whole island 🏝
We loved Bermuda
I am with you. Wish they did a similar cruise. To st Martains. St Thomas and San Juan. So much to do
Thank you for visiting our little Island in the expanse of the Atlantic Ocean!! 🙂I'd just like to say, that to avoid the Portuguese Man O War, the water is usually clear of them after May, up too the middle of June. Take care and come again! Peace.
thank you both so much for all of the pointers. I will be going in july and would love any other advice u have.
Thank you so much for visiting our beautiful island. You showcased the beauty of my island home very well. I'm curious to know if you were actually able to get the sand back to your home. Many people have tried and failed because taking sand from the beach is actually prohibited 😄.
Yes the sand made it home with us.
Love it.
I’m dying watching yall climb this
I saw pink sand but not very pink just a tint of pink!!! Staying in port sounds awesome!!! We are looking at doing a cruise that we will be able to stay a few days at a port!!!
Ok so first things first....Swizzle!!! Only go local for the swizzle (find an uncle ...u wont think rum puch after that and ull overstand why its called Swizzle lol) ...bars will always never taste right because it has not gone through the fermentation process.....second the "pink" sand is from bits of coral and depending on what beach can be more gritty than others......enjoyed ya video chaak u laydda xo
I actually live here, I love seeing people review the island, super cool
I got stung by a Portuguese Man O War when I was 4 years old in Ft Lauderdale. It was mixed in with some seaweed in the sand, and I stepped right on it. I remember screaming and some man scooped me up (with my mother in tow) and ran me to the life guard hut where they poured ammonia on my foot to relieve the sting. That was 50+ years ago and I still remember how much it hurt 😢
Yeah those things are bad. At horseshoe there can be a LOT of them.
Bermudian here. If you go just east of Horseshoe Bay is Jobsons Cove. Very vibrant pink sand.
Hiiiiii Jason and Alyssa..hope I spelled your name right?..lol.. anyways, love all your videos and some others as well great videos too!! It’s because of all your videos that I love cruising and going on cruises, amazing keep them coming. My favorite so far of all your videos, and i mean there’s so many but I have to narrow it down to just a little handful. I love all the Celebrity ships, PARADISE ISLAND, and of course HAWAII!!!! Love it, love it, love it! Thnx for sharing, and I mean really I enjoy all your videos! Btw, great couple too, and family as well! Blessings, keep them coming look forward to them everyday(if that’s possible) lolol…happy cruising!!!!!😘
I’m so happy you enjoyed your time here but not to down grade you but your kinda not allowed to take the sand out side of Bermuda. The water gets much warmer in the summer so I hope you come back
Awesome video.
Welcome to Bermuda! Hope you enjoy!
welcome to my island have fun
I remember meeting u at the scooter park in dockyard with my mom!! Love the vid
It's Parrot Fish poop haha. I love Horseshoe Bay Beach!
Love your Bermuda videos!! I think we may have to try that sandwich 😂
It’s really good!!!
Awesome video there's so much to see and do in Bermuda. Would like to bring my drone to do some video but heard they're not allowed on cruise ship.
Yeah when I went years ago the whole sand was pink and so pretty.
I agree that cruises should have multiple days in one port. Most Island drinks at bars have cruise prices.
Have been to Bermuda around 5 times..we stay with residents (our friends)…sand is defo pink! Not pink pink but when u put it in a glass and take home there are pink coral within in it…yes rum swizzle is good as well as the ‘Bermuda triangle’ alcoholic drink. ..👍 the scooters are the best way to get around..other than tAking the pink buses….The Reefs resort is good too…lots of beaches in Bermuda that are beautiful…Coopers Island is fabulous..not many people..but only accessible by scooter..yep been up Gibbs lighthouse…yikes didn’t like the high…the BUEI exploration centre is gr8 too
I was there last week on NCL Joy
Great video. Can you add the price of meals off the ship in future videos? I think that would be interesting especially here
Welcome and come again
I live in Bermuda, 1 you really shouldn't take sand from any beach cuz there is bacteria, just like shells and cedar wood and 2 its not the rum swizzle, its just rum swizzle. we Bermudians make it almost every weekend in our kitchens to last us threw the week of having to live in this hell hold.
Hellhole? Bermuda? Oh, well, we all think the grass is greener on the other side. Having cruised to Bermuda many times, I would love to get to know some Bermudians, experience living there for a while. Never going to happen, but one can dream, lol.
We. Go to beaches. Off the roads. Near arches. Beaches really pink. I have the same collection
Took a taxi to Glass Beach. Beautiful
you’re absolutely right about the swizzle
Hey I live In Bermuda and I can confirm there is pink sand here especially around John smith bay
We brought sand home from Bermuda. The pink is from pulverized sea shells. Check out all the forts. We loved it there.
Please note all tourists it is illegal to take beach sand of the beaches it will be taken from you you can get fined for it
Thank you for high lighting our beautiful island sadly the sand is also going because tourists like taking it home with them
The last time we were there the waves were 10 feet high. Hopefully when we visit in June we will be able to swim
Ok i died laughing when you said 184 so breathy.. lol
