Excursion to Dockyard & Snorkel Park

We will be arriving in Hamilton on the Veendam next week. On Tuesday I was thinking of taking the ferry to the Dockyard to go to snorkel park and other attractions there. Is this a worthwhile excursion?

We docked in the area on my previous cruise to Bermuda on RCL several years back. I am sure its much more interesting now than it was then.

For those more familiar with the area , what should we do while there?

TIA

Snorkel park is a man made beach...Bermuda has SO many other beautiful choices. My answer would be no, not worth it.

The Dock yard has some nice shops and bars, and of course the National Museum of Bermuda, but for beaches I agree, don't bother with snorkel park. Much better "real" beaches around.

Thanks.

Maybe we will just go to Horseshoe Bay instead.

Snorkel park in my opinion is good for families with little kids or babies because it's so close to where most cruise ships dock. I guess Holland America doesn't but we said RCCL nearly 100% and snorkel park was perfect when our son was 2 years old. He indeed had an accident in his bathing suit and we just had to walk a short distance back to the ship. We enjoyed it but it's not nearly the best Bermuda has to offer.

Horseshoe Bay is lovely....there is a trail you can walk..I would recommend getting dropped off at Warwick (limited facilities) then walking the trail to Horseshoe Bay

I went there while on my cruise last week. It was $10.00 to get in and $30.00 for 2 chairs and an umbrella. So not worth it. The beach is about 3 feet deep. Sand covered coral that you have to be careful of stepping on.

There is no contest between Horseshoe Bay and Snorkel Park, Horseshoe is a true beautiful Bermuda beach, Snorkel wasn't very nice when we went last year :(
