It's pink sand beaches and beautiful oceanside rock formations make it one of <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">the</span> beaches to include on your itinerary when you visit Bermuda.<br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">While some boxes were planted in Bermuda prior, this is the only active box that we know of at this present time.<br /><br /></span><br /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/johnnylb/hsb4.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />The day we visited Horseshoe Bay, the surf was 9 to 10 feet due to the after effects of Hurricane Frederick, which traveled some 70 miles north of the island. While we never saw the evil side of Frederick, we were thankful to have enjoyed a day playing in this unusually high surf thanks to a lasting benefit of the storm. This was most unusual as Bermuda is protected by a reef that is located off it's southern shore and usually allows for little or no surf. It was truly a day to remember!!!<br /><br /><br /><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v718/johnnylb/hsb5.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Clues</span><br /><br />After enjoying all Horseshoe Bay has to offer and exploring the little private beaches and rock formations just to it's east, take a sandy path east, continually heading for the red and white antenna that is most evident in the east.<br /><br />Keep that antenna in your sight at all times when choosing a path at a junction.<br /><br />Once you spot a small clearing in the trees on the left of the trail, surrounded by Bermuda evergreens, check around their bases.<br /><br />Now find time to enjoy this marvelous beach. Hope your surf was as huge as the day we visited!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15202579-112345864364678350?l=horseshoebayseahorse.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mark and Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11467187163158222881noreply@blogger.com
