Question
ARE THERE ANY RESORTS IN BERMUDA THAT HAVE BEACHES THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO WALK UP AND DOWN A LOT OF STAIRS OR A LONG DISTANCE TO GET TO. LEGS ARENT THAT GREAT.

Answer
Hi Bob,

Affectionately known as "the rock", Bermuda sits atop a long dormant volcano, so it's no surprise that access to many of its beaches require a bit of work.

You might look into Grotto Bay, Elbow Beach or the Southampton Princess for easier beach access.

Here are the links:

From these resorts, beach access is a bit easier. The Southampton, for example, has a trolley to take you from the resort across the street to Horseshoe Bay - one of the most photographed beaches in the world - without too much trouble. There's also a great cove for snorkeling.

Elbow Beach is right on the beach and Grotto Bay is on Bailey's Bay.

I hope you find this helpful.

All the best for a Bermudaful day,

Nan
