Sandys

Suburban   Coastal   Beaches  

Sandys Parish is one of the nine parishes of Bermuda and is located on the westernmost end of the island. Known for its rich maritime history, Sandys is a place where the past and present merge seamlessly, offering a unique blend of cultural experiences. The parish is named after Sir Edwin Sandys, an English politician and colonial entrepreneur. It encompasses several islands connected by bridges, with Somerset Island being the largest. Sandys is characterized by its small-town charm, with a slower pace of life that is ideal for relaxation and leisure. The area is famous for the Royal Naval Dockyard, a former naval base that has been transformed into a bustling tourist hub with shops, restaurants, and a maritime museum. The parish also boasts some of Bermuda's most beautiful and secluded beaches, such as Somerset Long Bay and Mangrove Bay, which offer crystal-clear waters and soft pink sands. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the Railway Trail, which provides scenic walking and cycling paths along the old railway bed. Sandys is also home to Fort Scaur and the Heydon Trust, which are great spots for picnics and enjoying panoramic views. Despite its small size, Sandys offers a variety of dining options, from casual eateries to upscale restaurants, many of which serve local seafood specialties. The community is tight-knit and friendly, welcoming visitors with warm Bermudian hospitality.
