Warwick Parish: An Insider’s Guide to Nature and Community Spirit

Warwick parish is where you’ll find a mix of walking trails, quiet nature reserves, grass roots community gatherings, and popular dining spots for any occasion. Warwick is where Bermuda’s natural beauty and community spirit come together, offering plenty to explore both on and off the sand. 

Explore Warwick’s Trails and Natural Spaces 

Warwick is a paradise for walkers, runners, and nature lovers. The trails winding through Riddell's Bay offer peaceful waterfront views, while nearby Sherwin Nature Reserve provides a quieter escape where birdwatchers can spot herons, moorhens, and migratory species throughout the year. 

The Bermuda Railway Trail also passes through Warwick, connecting shaded paths with scenic coastal viewpoints. Along the South Shore, sandy trails behind Warwick Long Bay weave through dunes, and native vegetation, which is great for exercise and exploration. 

Don't miss Southlands, one of Bermuda’s most picturesque public parks. Once a private estate, it now offers beautiful walking trails, open green spaces, and spectacular coastal views. This park is a popular spot for fashion and family photo shoots.  

Local tip: You can book early morning horse riding on the beach, which will take you along the trails behind Warwick Long Bay, an epic sunrise activity. 

While Warwick offers much more than beaches, its coastline remains one of Bermuda’s highlights. Warwick Long Bay is one of the island’s longest beaches, with some of the pinkest grains of sand stretching along the South Shore. Close in proximity to Horseshoe but much less busy.  

Families often gravitate toward Jobson's Cove, a sheltered cove surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs. The calm water and protected setting make it a favourite for young children. The close by Warwick Playground is also a great place to take the kids to play before cooling off in the ocean. 

 Adventurous visitors can seek out the hidden gem known as 100 Steps Beach. Reached by a staircase descending through the cliffs, this quieter stretch of coastline rewards those willing to make the journey. 

The playground at Warwick Long Bay makes this area especially popular with families looking to combine beach time with space for children to play. 

Local tip: The rocks to the left of Warwick Long Bay make for a great spot to watch the sun rise from the east.  

Warwick's dining scene offers everything from casual bites to elegant dining experiences. Golfers and non-golfers alike enjoy the views at Divots Bar, Grill & Terrace, with a. menu full of local favourites. Upstairs, Blu Bar & Grill offers a venue for a more elegant occasion and provides panoramic views of the Great Sound. For seafood lovers, Lost in The Triangle (LITT) is a must-try restaurant conveniently located on the south shore. Owned by local fisherman Delvin Bean, there is always a fresh catch on the menu. 

Beer lovers should also stop by Bermuda Craft Brewing, which recently relocated to Riddles Bay. It's a great, family-friendly place to sample locally crafted beers and experience another side of Bermuda's growing food and beverage scene. 

One of Warwick's best-kept secrets is the Pink Ferry route to Hamilton. While many visitors choose to travel by bus or taxi, the ferry offers a much more scenic way to experience Bermuda. 

The route winds through Hamilton Harbour along Harbour Road, passing colourful waterfront homes, private docks, sailboats, and some of the island's most beautiful shoreline views. Unlike the faster ferry routes, the Pink Ferry moves at a leisurely pace, giving passengers time to enjoy the scenery and see a side of Bermuda that is often missed from the road. Many locals use it as part of their daily commute, but it has become a favourite sightseeing route for visitors as well. 

Local tip: Grab a seat on the outer deck for some of the best harbour views on the island. 

Experience the Community Spirit 

What truly defines Warwick is its sense of community. Throughout the year, local sports clubs host matches, tournaments, and community events that bring neighbours together. Cricket, football, rugby, netball, and other sports play an important role in parish life, and visitors often find themselves welcomed into the atmosphere. If you are visiting over Easter weekend, look out for the community day at Pembroke Hamilton Club (PHC) Field on Good Friday for kite flying and family games.   

Families also enjoy the parish's bowling alley, a longtime favourite gathering spot that has entertained generations of Bermudians and could be a good rainy-day activity. 

Local tip: If you see signs for a community day, fundraiser, or sporting event, stop by. These gatherings offer some of the most authentic local experiences in Bermuda.
