Tobacco Bay or Elbow Beach?

Hi! Love Horseshoe Bay but wanted to visit another beach. Any thoughts?

I would go to TB only if I wanted to snorkel. Otherwise I would go to a South Shore beach. You realize that TB and HSB are the only public beaches with complete amenities. Why not go to Warwick Long Bay Beach, and when completed there, walk to HSB,

My vote is for TB (or short walk to St. Catherine's over the hill) if you want to explore or snorkle. Love looking at all the different types of fish using polarized sunglasses. Elbow if you want to swim/sun but if you need umbrellas, chairs and lunch, you're looking to spend about $150. TB has a small restaurant and you can get drinks/cocktails for reasonable price. Con: The beach at TB is small and dish shaped and get quite warm with not a lot of air circulation.

Fort St Catherine's Beach is a short walk from TB. Once you are finished snorkeling you can walk down to that beach to swim from a beach with nice sand in the shadow of the fort. There is a second beach to the left of the fort down a flight of stairs that is very tiny but offers some additional snorkeling though not as good as TB.

That second beach's name is Achilles Bay.

As always, thank you to the sagacious SBtS.

 

I think I'll go visit TB on Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing America's Cup on Sunday.

Unless you are snorkeling, I say Elbow Beach

Is St Catherine's beach still available to the public? We went there years ago aand I thought it was the prettiest beach ever. We were in Bermuda when New Orleans was being destroyed by Katrina.

Is it the flight of stairs that is very tiny or the beach? Excuse me, I haven't had my coffee yet:)
