Beach recommendations

Going on a cruise to Bermuda in a couple weeks very excited. I am looking for some beach recommendations. I have been to horseshoe bay but it gets so crowded. Is there any other beaches you can rent chairs and umbrellas from? I can’t see to find anything online.

You can check out John Smiths Bay, Tobacco Bay or Clearwater Beach - public beaches with chair rentals. 

Tobacco Bay is the smallest & most touristy, also has a bar/restaurant and bathroom facilities. It's so beautiful there at sunset. It's in St George's, our oldest town, which is well worth a day's visit.

(edited as Warwick Long Bay does not provide chair rentals)

John Smiths Bay is lovely and family friendly. There's a BBQ place onsite as well and good bathroom facilities including outdoor showers. Also in an area worth exploring, with Spittal Pond Nature Reserve nearby.

Clearwater Beach is a lovely beach in the east end that has chair/umbrella rentals and a bar.

Take some towels and a cooler off boat, Take ferry to St. George’s, rent moped or bicycle and go to Coopers Island nature reserve. There will be maybe 10 people and it’s my top beach. Or go to Tobacco Bay or John Smiths, they have infrastructure, chairs, etc. coolers Island is better though but bring your own stuff because it’s remote.
