"Talk about a beach day. This feet-in-the-sand eatery serving burgers, chicken wings, and fries is more than a laid-back fish shack. Sure, there are all the requisite beach-bar amenities—a cool cocktail list, live music, and a line of loungers facing the water. But additional perks include free Wi-Fi, showers, and lockers; what's more, concession stands are on hand to rent out water-sports gear. The bay itself is breathtaking with limestone rocks creating a barrier protecting it from the open ocean, meaning the shallow turquoise waters are perfect for paddleboarding. Tobacco Bay is also one of the best snorkeling spots in Bermuda."

"Trotting Across the Coast on Horseback Nothing says tropical beach destination better than trotting across the sand on an equestrian adventure. Get a unique vantage point of Bermuda’s cliffs, coves, and turquoise waters from the back of a horse. Both beginner and experienced riders can enjoy the unique experience of horseback riding on the beaches and trails of Bermuda . Enjoy the view as gentle horses walk past the stone walls of Fort St. Catherine and the pink sand of Tobacco Bay. Trail rides and lessons are offered at Little Piece of Heaven in St. George’s and the Spicelands Equestrian Centre in Warwick."
