Review:
Shelly Bay Beach is Bermuda's number-one beach for visiting families, offering extensive areas of shallow, tranquil waters. The beach, which is located in Hamilton parish, is named in honor of Henry Shelly, a crew member aboard the 1609 shipwreck Sea Venture, which brought the first European settlers to the island. Soft white sands stretch across the beach's shoreline, which is shaded by native trees. Calm water conditions make for an ideal environment for novice swimmers, with coastline features offered such as a mangrove tidal pool and a public wooden boardwalk. Nearby, a free public park offers children's playground equipment, while the island's Railway Museum is accessible via a short half-mile trek. Shelly Bay Beach Map
