Somerset Long Bay Beach is one of Bermuda's best-kept family secrets, located on the quiet western tip of the island in Sandys Parish. This long, shallow bay is ideal for families because the water is exceptionally calm and sheltered. A reef and small islands just offshore break the Atlantic swell, creating a natural wading pool with water that stays knee-to-waist deep for a long way out. The sand is soft, pink-tinged, and perfect for building castles, while the gentle waves make it safe for toddlers and non-swimmers. It rarely gets crowded.
