HardWorker49 Posted October 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Will be stopping on a cruise for 2 days in November. I had heard somewhere that chair/umbrella rentals are not available past October. Can anyone confirm? Is this true for Horseshoe Bay? Tobacco Bay? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally not-- you are outside of beach season which wraps up in October. Depending when you are there in November (early vs late) water temps can be in the mid to lower 70s or high 60s. Air temps are still great-- the humidity of summer is gone then which is wonderful (but doesn't make swimming as enticing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EOSapril11 Posted October 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Will bathrooms be available in November at Horseshoe Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardWorker49 Posted October 23, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I called 1-800-BERMUDA which is the Tourism Authority and they indicated that we Chair/umbrella rentals would be available. Perhaps call and check on the bathrooms. If you learn anything please share! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concession at Horseshoe has closed at some point during the winter in the past but since Horseshoe Bay Live does not have a website, or at least one I have been able to find if or exactly when or if they will close this winter is unknown. Also the building with the toilets, the toilets could be separate from the concession, I don't know who maintains them, so perhaps they would be open. As an example there are toilets at John Smiths Bay but there is no concession. There are toilets at Fort Hamilton but there is no staff there.

RandomUser123 Posted November 9, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I will be in Bermuda on MSC Meraviglia cruise next week. We arrive in Bermuda Wed Nov 15 9AM and depart Fri Nov 17 at 3PM. I was looking to do Horseshoe Bay on Thurs Nov 16. Will the chair/umbrella rental facilities be open and bathrooms open as well. I am seeing mixed results where some say yes and some say no.

HardWorker49 Posted November 20, 2023 Author #11 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Update: We were at Horseshoe Bay on November 11 and Chairs/umbrells were available for rent. Restrooms and Concessions were open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardWorker49 Posted November 20, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Also - there were plenty of people in the water. It wasn't warm like the Caribbean, and certainly a little chill when you first get in, but not terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People from New England seem fine with it but people from warmer regions find it chilly. I just read a review from someone who was there last week and said it was too cold for them.

HardWorker49 Posted November 21, 2023 Author #15 Share Posted November 21, 2023 If its any consolation, Sunday the 12th was dreary and rainy in Bermuda, and I heard that the 13th was to be a holiday in Bermuda and most shops, etc would be closed.

Arrival would have been the 15th which also had the Apex and was sunny while we were in rainy Port Canaveral and then very rough seas to Nassau which also rained. Yes, the sick bags were out on our trip and everyone was complaining that Bermuda was sunny. But enough thread drift here. I'll be back in Bermuda in late April/May.
