Dining on the Beach in Bermuda

Whether you’re looking to pause your beach day for a tasty lunch or get dressed up for dinner with a view, Bermuda’s beach dining options won’t disappoint.

Enticing island resorts dotting the shoreline are part of Bermuda's mystique – and the luxe atmosphere extends out to the sands that skirt them at these restaurants.

Situated on the pink sand that lines Elbow Beach, this quintessential open-air beach restaurant is an excellent choice for lunch, cocktails or dinner. The menu at Lido Complex features everything from light beach snacks to gourmet salads to fresh seafood dinner entrées. In the evening, smart casual dress is recommended.

A sunset from the West End should be required viewing for any vacationer. That’s why you’ll want to reserve your spot at this beachfront eatery on Long Bay before the sun starts to sink. A great spot to sip a swizzle with your toes in the sand, Breezes is located right on the private beach at the historic Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa, an adults-only property near Somerset Village. On the menu you’ll find classic Bermudian dishes, like the fish sandwich, with an upscale twist. This casual spot is lunch-only on Mondays.

Gaze out over Bermuda’s iconic South Shore Beaches – and the dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters of the Atlantic just beyond – at this breezy beachfront spot on the grounds of The Reefs Resort & Club. Have an elegant lunch or dinner experience while seated at a white-linen-covered table, or opt for casual, toes-in-the-sand dining at one of the beachside tables. The everchanging menu at Coconuts is highly dependent on seasonal influences, and the evening dress code is smart-casual.

For high-end dining with an island twist (and spectacular views of the Atlantic), opt for this restaurant at Rosewood Bermuda. It has the classic Bermudian carefree-but-sophisticated feel with a menu to match. There's a full menu for guests ordering from the beach; on it you'll find fish caught in Bermuda's waters, greens grown on the island and many more local specialties, plus island-inspired cocktails. There are full lunch and dinner menus in the restaurant's main dining area, where the dress code is resort casual. Indoor and outdoor seating are available.

This lively beach bar sits at the south end of the ever-popular Horseshoe Bay Beach. It’s a colourful spot to grab a bite and a chilly beverage after a day of swimming and snorkelling. The drink menu features island favourites like the Dark ‘n Stormy as well as house-made sangria and frosé. The food menu includes bar fare such as burgers and wahoo bites. Given its location at Horseshoe Bay Beach – arguably the island’s most famous stretch of sand – you’ll find lots of activity here, like live music and monthly full-moon parties. They also offer beach rentals, from beach chairs to snorkel equipment.  

For beachside dining with views of the water and dramatic rock formations, look no further than Tobacco Bay Beach. A short walk, taxi or Twizy ride from Town of St. George, Tobacco Bay Beach offers a full-service restaurant and bar situated right next to a shallow beach with gentle surf that’s great for families with small children. This East End beach is also known for its summer bonfire parties. You’ll find tons of amenities here, including beach chair and watersports equipment rentals – even a floating pool table. This spot is also steeped in island history with a story dating back to the American Revolutionary War.
