Shelly Bay Beach

Many people come here expecting to find a beach laden with shells. However, the beach takes its name from Henry Shelly, one of the crew of Sir George Somers’ wrecked ship, the Sea Venture.

Shelly Bay Beach BermudaThe beach, with its pink sand, is surrounded by a cove which shelters it from the ocean waves. The water is calm and shallow making it ideal for children. Trees line the beach and provide cover from the hot sun.

Nearby there's a café serving drinks and light meals, and changing and toilet facilities.

The adjacent park has a playground with climbing frames, swings and slides. Local soccer and cricket teams also play here at weekends. Many species of birds can be spotted at the mangrove tidal pool here.

Shelly Bay is nice but would be much better without the seaweed. Plus it is nice for children to play and is also relaxing for the parents.

Shelly bay beach has a wonderful play ground and field where you can run and play. The beach house has good food and a porch you can sit and enjoy the view while you have lunch. The beach is shallow going out to about 200 feet with white sand. Enjoy.

We stumbled upon Shelly Bay Beach on a moped ride. It was fantastic and we don't even have children! The waters were nice and calm and WARM. It appeared to be mostly locals at the beach. We'll definitely go back!

We just returned from a seven day cruise on the Norwegian Majesty. Shelly Bay is one of the best beaches for small children. Our three year old enjoyed both, the shallow water and the playground. Our 9 year old loved being able to walk and swim out at least 50-60 yards without going over his head. People miss out on this one!

I prefer Horseshoe bay for the kids because of the nice small reef.

Shelly Bay has a great, brand new playground, and the water there, although quite salty, is nice and warm.

Shelly Bay is a very quiet beach and it's rare to find any tourists on it. I suppose it's because there's not many hotels in this area of Bermuda.
