Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda

Bermuda is known for its pink sand beaches and Horseshoe Bay is one of the most famous.  For $4 you can take a bus right to the beach.  Well, almost.  You still have to walk down a steep hill.  No big deal for us but if you have any sort of mobility issues, there's a little man who runs a shuttle up and down the hill.

This was our first view of the beach while walking down to the sand.



The water is so clear in the pools of the bay that you are able to see all kinds of fish.  You can walk right out and stand among them!


Here's a pic of Chris and I in one of the little pools created by the rock outcroppings.


These holes in the cliffside are created by birds that are native to the island.  I'm not sure if we ever heard the name but these birds are depicted on everything from currency to the sides of peoples' homes.

Another view of the rocks that create the pools for the fishes... ;)

A lovely shot of Jeff and Jenn.  Don't they make such a good looking couple?


Chris and I, in the water.  Note to self, must get an 85mm polarizing filter... thanks to my sunglasses and still getting a feel for the new camera... every one of these shots is soooooo blown out...


Pink sands and turquoise waters... I wish we had some nicer weather while we were visiting.  I can only imagine how these shots would have looked on a nice sunny day...


Silly boys.  Which way is the beach?  How big is that beach ball you've lost?



Chris, my closet romantic, drew this in the sand.


There was a storm that was really starting to brew as we left the beach.


These are the birds mentioned above.  Look at how colorful they are... subtle but pretty.
