A bit about Southampton
Bordered by Sandy’s Parish to the west, Southampton Parish sits curved in a half moon around the quaint Little Sound and is perhaps best known for the picturesque string of pink sand beaches that stretch along its southern shore. Backed by lush clifftop parks, Southampton is a diving haven with its clear cerulean waters and pristine sands and is home to Church Bay, one of the most popular snorkelling beaches in Bermuda where a captivating reef lies close to the shore with a myriad of colourful fish swimming in it. Nearby, another famous area Horseshoe Bay with its glorious Horseshoe Bay Beach sits as a haven with wide pink sands and stunning rock formations. Take in the views from the historic Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, visited by Queen Elizabeth II herself before retiring to one of the many luxury hotels housed in this parish for afternoon tea or a cocktail overlooking the sea.
