There are few public beaches on Bermuda that have concessions stands or restaurants with a liquor license. One that does – Tobacco Bay – is just a short distance from the cruise ship dock and the village of St. George. In addition to boozing, you can rent snorkeling equipment at Tobacco Bay (though we'd recommend you drink after you snorkel).

Visitors give glowing remarks on snorkeling in the clear water, lounging on the soft – if sometimes scalding – sand, or interacting with the friendly residents.

To reach Tobacco Bay, many recommend either walking or taxing a taxi from Kings Square. Buses 1, 3, 10 and 11 from Hamilton City will get you to King's Square. The orange route ferry from St. Georges to King's Square is another option. The beach is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
