Horseshoe Named On ‘Beaches To Visit’ List
In an article called “35 Beaches You Should Visit in Your Lifetime,” Business Insider said they have “scoured world to find the best beaches you should put on your bucket list.”
Horseshoe Bay Beach is named on the list with Business Insider saying, “With its curved shoreline and pink sand, Horseshoe Bay is one of the most famous beaches in Bermuda.”
Other beaches named on the list include Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro, Whitehaven Beach in Australia, Matira Beach in French Polynesia, Anakena Beach in Easter Island, Elafonissi Beach in Greece, Boulders Beach in South Africa, Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, and Gardner Bay in the Galapagos Islands.
You can read the full list, with accompanying photos, here on Business Insider.
The OBA should score this as a victory for tourism.
Plant 100 coconut palms along Horseshoe Bay Beach,and it will be the number 1 in the world!
Agree planting 100 coconut palms would help.
This beach used to be so beautiful but it has slowly been ruined over the years.
The beach cafe, which has encroached upon what used to be the stunning ‘baby beach’, needs to be
torn down and replaced with something that is architecturally attractive with changing and bathroom
facilities that are acceptable in this century. The life guard tower must be one of the most unattractive
to be found on any beach anywhere in the world. It is a blight on that once lovely curve of sand.
Booze has crept in despite the law on the books that says alcohol must not be served on any public beach in Bermuda. Bottles, trash and litter are the name of the game here and sand dunes are badly eroding.
Horseshoe should be our iconic beach. We need to put beaches on the priority list for protection written in to the National Tourism’s Plan for the “South Shore Hub”. Instead the greedy hand of commercialization is descending upon our most treasured resource.
Our island needs to be more relaxed on its laws, bermuda is such a beautiful place. Where else in the world can you find beautiful pink sand and crystal clear waters? Bermuda is one of only a hand full of countries that has such a strict law on the beaches. I’m not saying we need nude beaches, but I bet we could generate a nice little revenue to help fix our beaches if we do have a topless beach where you don’t have to conform to the natural law of hiding yourself and getting a ugly tan line. If you charge 5 bucks a head to use the beach there will be enough money to plant the coconut trees, fix the dilapidated building and pay for beach maintenance. Our island is geared toward big business not tourism. We don’t know if our big business sector will always be here. I feel it’s time to kick bermuda into high gear and welcome change for tourism.
