cdean006 Posted March 12, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've read that South Shore park has a nice trail. Can anyone give insight on hiking in Bermuda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinchem Posted March 12, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2009 You need a taxi or bus service to most anywhere in Bermuda, the south shores are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted March 12, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yes, you can walk a trail along the South Shore beaches. You you can usually pick it up at any of the beches. It's more of a path in some places but very beautiful along the way. The Railtrail is also another place to hike. It is disjointed but it can be hiked in the segments that are open. http://www.bermuda.com/railway/ http://www.bermudarailway.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonChap Posted March 14, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2009 The South Shore beach trail is our favorite on the island. Be sure to bring your camera as it is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh2gocruisin Posted March 18, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2009 There is a book called Hiking Bermuda by Cecile Davidson that has some great info on day hikes w/maps and trail descriptions. I don't think it's available from Amazon or other chain book stores but you can order it directly from The Bookmart in Bermuda (Google) -- if they still have it. Hope this helps.

Cruisetrekker Posted March 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2009 How long would it take to walk leisurely the South Shore trail from Church Bay to Jobson Cove ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted March 20, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2009 How long would it take to walk leisurely the South Shore trail from Church Bay to Jobson Cove ? We haven't walked that part but it's about 2 miles if that helps. We were lazy, but also trying to get the most out of the day so we hopped on the bus between those two points.

bdaguy Posted March 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2009 How long would it take to walk leisurely the South Shore trail from Church Bay to Jobson Cove ? There is no trail between these two beaches. Well, technically there is and it's called South Shore Road. What you are looking for is what us locals call the "dunes". It's a path that goes from Warwick Long Bay to Horseshoe Bay and it is well woth the hike. Bring extra memory cards for your camera. You will pass all manner of tiny hidden beaches along the path, Jobson's included. If you were to walk non-stop at a slow pace you could do it in an hour. If you really like pink sand beaches you could take all day walking the dunes, stopping to relax and swim here and there. Be sure to bring drinks with you cos if you start at Warwick Long Bay, the only place to buy drinks is at Horseshoe, at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pleiades Posted June 6, 2009 #9 Share Posted June 6, 2009 You can also start at Astwood Park and walk east, but there is quite a bit of climbing to do on some rather sharp rocks if you go at high tide. There also isn't an obvious way to leave the beach once you reach the end, we usually walk back to Astwood, it looks different walking the opposite direction. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are pretty adventurous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
