Review:
West Whale Bay Beach is one of Bermuda's hidden gems, located along the western edge of Southampton Parish. The beach's name is derived from its proximity to former 18th-century whaling grounds and still attracts a large number of humpback whales, which can be viewed with binoculars from a number of viewing points within the beach or on its surrounding rocky cliffs. Shallow waters provide a safe environment for swimming for young children, with low tide conditions creating opportunities for coral reef wading and exploration. Anglers can also catch pompano, barracuda, and bonefish in the beach's waters. Nearby, the remnants of the 18th-century Whale Bay Fort and Battery are visible, including its troop barracks and underground storage areas. West Whale Bay Beach Map
