点评:Fabulous beach, nice combo with Spittal Pond Nature Reserve. This is the furthest you can get from the Dockyard (St. George is more easily reached via ferry), so not many other tourists. Very quiet.
The beach has public restrooms (with foot faucets outside). No changing rooms, but you can change in a bathroom stall. There is a stairway leading up to the facilities from the beach.
There is a food stand with AMAZING quality food and budget prices. Two burgers and two drinks for less than twenty USD, and the burgers were amongst the best tasting that we have had in years, wow! They could easily charge twice as much. Prices were half the price of Horseshoe Bay's food stand.
#1 bus will get you there. On the return to Hamilton, a bus passed us without stopping due to being full (perhaps due to the Caves/Grotto Bay stops, people heading back to Hamilton/Dockyard ferry). We opted to take a taxi back instead of waiting for another bus which might also be full.
We have been to Bermuda many times and we have been to most of its beaches. John Smiths is right up there with the Clearwater area beaches and the south short beaches between Warwick Long Bay and Horseshoe Bay. Not quite as dramatic as the those beaches, but still quite nice in its own special way.
Snorkeling along the south side of the beach was decent. The further out we went, the more fish we saw. Not a great variety of coral. Some of the better off beach snorkeling that we have seen, probably the best from a south shore beach.
翻译:很棒的海滩,与斯皮特尔池自然保护区相得益彰。这是距离船坞最远的地方(乘渡轮更容易到达圣乔治),所以没有太多其他游客。非常安静。
海滩有公共卫生间(室外有脚踏水龙头)。没有更衣室,但您可以在浴室隔间换衣服。从海滩有楼梯通往设施。
有一个食品摊,提供优质食品和实惠价格。两个汉堡和两杯饮料不到 20 美元,汉堡是我们多年来吃过的最好吃的汉堡之一,哇!他们很容易就能收两倍的价格。价格是马蹄湾食品摊的一半。
1 号巴士会带你去那里。返回汉密尔顿时,一辆巴士因为满员而没有停下来(可能是因为 Caves/Grotto Bay 站,人们正返回汉密尔顿/船坞渡轮)。我们选择打车回去,而不是等另一辆可能也满员的巴士。
我们去过百慕大很多次,去过那里的大多数海滩。约翰史密斯海滩与克利尔沃特地区的海滩以及沃里克长湾和马蹄湾之间的南短滩一样壮观。虽然没有那些海滩那么壮观,但仍然以自己的独特方式非常漂亮。
沿着海滩南侧浮潜很不错。我们走得越远,看到的鱼就越多。珊瑚种类不多。我们见过的一些海滩浮潜条件最好,可能是南岸海滩最好的。
