Ninety seconds on West Whale Bay
Until the tide drops, the strip of sand below the cliff may not be there at all. Come at low water and you get sheltered shallows for young children and coral patches a short snorkel from the sand.
Pack everything before you turn off Middle Road: nothing is sold here. The nearest shops are the MarketPlace supermarkets at Somerset and Heron Bay.
The beach is one of the smallest in Bermuda, under a rocky cliff. Locals also fish from the shore here, for grey snapper, pompano, bonefish and barracuda.
If the tide has covered the sand, spend the afternoon on the lawn behind it, which has picnic tables.
