Bermuda = Paradise


Bermuda Trip - June 11-18th 
Accomodations made through Bermuda Rentals (Devonshire Cottage)
Bus Transportation/1 day Swizzy Rental (electric car)



Devonshire Bay - Two minutes from the cottage we stayed at (cottage was on a large private residence) in Devonshire.  Walked by everyday on our way to the bus.  Lots of fishing. 



Views from Horseshoe Bay Beach.  We visited several beaches and this was our favorite.  Returned for a second day.

Warwick Long Bay Beach.  Beautiful quiet spot.  There was a large drop down to the water and there was a bit of an undertow.  Rick loved it!

Alexandria Battery Beach.  This is one of the sea glass beaches.  There is alot of sea glass in the water and at the high tide line.  There is also a cave here that you can access by snorkeling or at low tide.  I was alone on the beach for about an hour then two other people came by. 
A few of the sea glass pieces I picked up.  I was thrilled to find quite a bit of pottery. 


Beautiful view through the rock formations at Tobacco Bay Beach.  We had a wonderful day here.  The bay is very calm (good for young children) and a lovely place to snorkle.  We enjoyed this spot very much and were able to see alot of fish of all varieties and colors. 

 This is a photo of the view from the front yard of the property where we stayed (Decks Awashed).  It was absolutely breathtaking.  Infinity pool overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.  We were able to spend the morning enjoying the view, each other and the pool on the day we were leaving. 
Celebrating 30 years coming up July 3rd!
