Ninety seconds on Snorkel Park Beach
Easy family swimming is the reason to come, with gear hire and a bar on the beach. Do not come for Bermuda's best snorkelling: the reef water is often cloudy from the ships berthed next door.
Swim left from the sand and out through the break in the rock wall to the shallow patch reefs, which run the length of the wall. Look for corky sea fingers sheltering small butterflyfish and for sunken cannon on the bottom, and keep clear of the large fire coral.
Ship propellers stir up silt, so visibility is often low, but the shallow water keeps the fish in view. The club rents masks, kayaks, pedal boats and paddle boards, and a separate shallow baby beach suits small children. A day pass covers entry only; chairs, loungers and cabanas cost extra.
