roupa Posted November 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The $7 shuttle van to Hoeseshoe Bay is easy and convenient. But if you like to explore a bit...and get away from the crowd!... go left (facing the water) and walk away from Horseshoe. You can stick close to the shoreline or go thru paths a bit off the shore. You will eventually get to LONG BAY (maybe about a mile), but detours to other little bays/ coves along the way just might keep you from the Long Bay destination. Jobson's Cove is one of the names I recall...beautiful and shallow with colorful fish. Take along a few crackers to draw them out of their hiding places. Take a snack and water for yourself. Just don't lose track of time if you have a schedule to keep! Enjoy the adventure rather than just doing the routine " beach-sit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted November 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2018 FYI, the place you're talking about is Warwick Long Bay. There's another beach a few miles west named Somerset Long Bay and you don't want to get the two confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhenry Posted December 1, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Having done this walk in August, you can walk along the water at low tide. At my age, and with any kind of footing issues, I wouldn't want to try walking through those coves at high tide. But maybe that's just me😉 It was lovely.

jamscckmc Posted December 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Does the shuttle run all year? We are going in late April and also wonder how late they run. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! The minibuses run during cruise season when there are cruise ships in port. The last week of April has been considered the first week of cruise season. I don't know if they show up outside the summer cruise season which runs from late April to begining late October. The facilities at Horseshoe close at 5:00 so the last minibus return trips from Horseshoe to the Dockyard have been reported to be between 5 and 5:30. That is also what the drivers told me. I have never stayed that late myself to confirm as I like to get there early, between 9:00 and 9:30 am and leave between 2 and 4. There were always plenty of the minibuses there at those times.

jamscckmc Posted December 17, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks! RC wants more than twice the amount for transfers there and I don't want to pay that if I don't need to. Do you buy a round trip ticket ahead of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just pay your van driver for each individual trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted December 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Do they take US$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US and Bermudian dollars are on par so there's never an issue with currency conversion. Please note that any Bermudian currency you may acquire as change is not exchangeable outside Bermuda so you should politely ask for US dollars if you're getting bills back in change in a transaction .

nicstress Posted April 13, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 13, 2019 You can also take the regular bus to Warwick and walk back to Horseshoe. That's what we did. When we got off at Warwick in the am we had the beach to ourselves. It was lovely. Early October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacation44 Posted May 15, 2019 #20 Share Posted May 15, 2019 And how long of a walk is it from Warwick Beach to Horseshoe Bay in terms of miles and time (without stopping)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would estimate about 1.25 to 1.5 miles. The paths can vary somewhat depending on the tides. Low tide you can walk a greater amount along the beach. Higher tides you have to take more of the paths in the dunes to go around the rocks. I have done the walk a number of times and it was never exactly the same. I can’t say what the time would be without stopping because it is such a beautiful walk with coves to stop at that I never did it without stopping.

We do also plan on stopping and exploring along the way but was just trying to gauge how long it would take with the stops. We are also going to bring our snorkle gear.
