Bermuda Vacation ActivitiesOne of the most popular activities when visiting Bermuda is fishing, but the island offers a vibrant, wide array of activities that range from bird watching, boating and bowling to golfing, playing squash or enjoying nature by horseback riding or cycling, among other off-beat activities available on the island. With a temperate climate, Bermuda's coasts are ideal for being a spectator at a sailing regatta from the quay of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, or sailing at the Great Sound or the Hamilton Harbor. Sea shore walking on the exquisite beaches to watch the breathtaking sunsets is another one of the pleasant activities. There are large stretches of beaches where the locals can be found any time of day, some of them public and others connected to hotels. Beaches contain pink flecks in the sand remaining from a tiny organism known as the red foam combined with tiny particles of bits of coral and broken shells making the sand unique. For those who love water sports, there are a number of activities that are particularly interesting such as helmet and scuba diving, but the water activities also include fishing, boating, sailing, para-sailing, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, take a ride on the jet skis, diving and exploring life around the reef. Boating in Bermuda has been a popular entertainment for centuries, with views of the island unlike any other than from a boat. Blue Hole Water Sports is one of the places that may have you wanting to sail your own boat while visiting Bermuda's beaches, including the renting of a 13 foot Boston Whaler with steering console and bimini tops, Sailfish Sailboats, Windsurfers and Kayaks with complimentary snorkeling gear and cooler included depending on the chosen boat.
Some tours include a visit to Horseshoe Bay, one of the most popular public beaches, where on May 24 (Bermuda Day) locals take to the water for their first dip to commemorate the beginning of summer and beach weather, participating in a variety of sponsored events, or simply lazing in the sun. Non water activities such as horseback riding are available at Bermuda's South Shore Park with Spicelands Riding Centre. For squash the only option is Bermuda Squash Racquets Association in Devonshire Parish, although there is golf, squash and tennis courts available to guests at resorts hotels and guest houses, such as the Waterloo House, Horizons and Cottages hotels and the Coral Beach and Tennis Club, but the last requires an introduction by a club member.
