Beach Conditions after Hurricane Igor

Could we get an update on the Beaches in Bermuda after Igor? Photos would be great also....We will be there in about 10 days and hope the beaches will be ready for us.

Hi Dotsofunn,

Sure!

Here's a link to local news site BERNEWS's coverage on the work being done to get the beaches back up to scratch...

Hi 32 64,

Great link, one that I will be checking often.:)

 

Now for a question that has been driving me nuts. The very first time we were at Horsehoe Bay, we climbed up to the top of the rocks to the left as you enter the beach area. I remember being up there, looking down, seeing people snorkeling in the little cove area and wondering how they got in there.....other than coming in from the ocean. I even have a picture looking down but what is the current access area is not visible.

 

When we were there shortly after Fabian, you could walk right in that area. Am I wrong in thinking that it wasn't broken through until Fabian? Have I remembered incorrectly, or am I COMPLETELY crazy?

Hi iHeart,

No, you're not crazy. There was no access until the hurricane took out a big section of rock. Happened all over - Natural Arches in Tuckers Town (a long-time postcard feature) went bye-byes too.

Have Fun!
