I agree that this beach looks like the one near the dockyard....not what we found at the Battery. The beach by the dockyard was 6 inches deep in places of well worn glass...

The pictures here look like glass beach by the dockyard instead of the battery...The beach near the concrete wall to the left of the battery was very sandy and had lots of glass but NOTHING like this. These pictures really look like the glass beach near the royal navy cemetery...

I have loved collecting sea glass, ever since I was 7 years old. I have turned many a people in to beach glass combers. I can't even walk on the beach looking up, it is always down. I was lucky enough to spend 37 years at the Jersey Shore in the summer. I have dreamed of a place like Alexandra Battery Beach, I never knew a place like this existed. I am so excited, I called my sister-in-law (a seaglass lover herself) and said lets book a trip and bring a big empty suitcase!! Thanks for this cool site, I will be saving my money too for a trip to Bermuda!

Although Lornette had given permission to use the above photos, I hadn't checked for her reply in several months. Now, thanks to Lornette, we can see what this beach looks like. Click on her name to see 100s of other beautiful photos of Bermuda.

Just spent a week in Bermuda, and visited Alexandra Battery Beach in St. Georges several times, including after a brush by the hurricane. Lots of beautiful soft glass, including inside the cave (which isn't as easy to access as other posts had made it seem...you have to clamber over some big rocks...but it is do-able). Much more brown and amber than I find near home, but also much less aqua and light green. Very little blue, no red. Lots of great pottery pieces, some cool shells, and a parrotfish jaw that is actually turquoise and white! I did try the other beach recommended near Royal Naval Cemetery near Dockyard (other side of the island) but was very disappointed--glass was available but no soft edges on any of it. Then I got caught in a fierce downpour...oh well.

Wife and I just returned from Bermuda and had lost our directions to another sea glass beach over near the old Navy Cemetery. A local shop owner told us about this beach and we walked to it from the Pier in St Gorges in about 40 minutes taking pictures along the way. Didn't have much time because ship was to leave at 11:00 and it poured the rain the other days we were there! The beach is tiny, with calm waters because it is somewhat protected -- a little cove really -- and LITTERED with sea glass. Didn't know about the cave but will check it out the next time. In about 20 minutes there we found lots of keepers including a couple of small blue pieces and one red. Lots of different shades of green not commonly found in our area of Satellite Beach, FL
