SMITH'S PARISH
Pink Beach Club & Cottages Pink Beach remains proudly defiant to the
changes that have swept through many of Bermuda's other cottage colonies. Far
removed from the congestion of Hamilton, it's the largest cottage colony on Bermuda.
Two pretty beaches (Pink Beach and West Beach) flank this complex of pink-sided,
white-roofed cottages, and bay grape trees and hibiscus bushes grace its 6.5-hectare
(16-acre) oceanfront setting. The staff, among the best on the island, includes people
who have been with Pink Beach, in some cases, for decades. Accommodations are
among the largest in Bermuda, and are configured as either a junior suite or a suite. All
units have a generously proportioned bedroom/sitting area, a fully equipped kitchen, a
decent-size bathroom, a patio, and an outdoor terrace or veranda. The most luxurious
accommodations include a quartet of oceanfront suites. These are ideal for families
seeking spacious accommodations. Management remains faithful to an age-old policy
of not furnishing any of its units with a television, although one receiving only the three
local Bermuda stations can be brought in for a supplemental fee of $50 a week.
