Glass Beach in Bermuda (Dockyard)


This is a map of Bermuda. You can get one just like this either by clicking the picture and downloading the .pdf file from the tourism website or pick one up in Bermuda.On the back it has insets of the Dockyard, Hamilton, and St. George.

The beach where I got most of my glass is near the Dockyard where our ship docked. I took a bus from the dockyard to the Royal Naval Cemetery (it's shown on the map) about a mile away. When I was ready to go home, I found a blue pole and the bus took me back. Fortunately for me, the buses went on strike a few hours later, but I got my trip into the beach first.

To get to the beach, get off the bus at the cemetery. Turn around and face the turquoise apartments (there are 4 of them). Look to the left. There's a foot path that goes behind the buildings and down some stairs. Take it down to the beach. There's a beach to the left with a little glass, but mostly sand. There's a little dock straight ahead. There's a longer beach with lots of glass to the right. Take your pick!


If it's high tide, you may get wet up to your knees going to the beach on the right. Some of the glass may be sharp so use caution including wearing flip flops or beach shoes.

There are some great threads on Cruise Critic about how to find the beach.
