Hello, The nearest beach is Clarence Cove. Having said that, the island is only 20 square miles with 34 wonderful beaches and we're central. So depending on wind direction and tide, etc. our guests decide each day which beach they fancy. Hope this helps! Harry & Marlie

10 mins walk to to town. I can't comment on busses but mopads are a great way to get around. Bermuda is small and distances are short. They will accommodate gluten free. They are vegetarians do don't expect bacon and eggs.

Bicycles are not available at Kingston House but may perhaps be rented in town. Mopeds can be rented in Hamilton. While a refrigeration/freezer is available to the guests, there are no cooking facilities. I doubt if any B&B would be permitted to allow guests to prepare their own meals on the premises for insurance purposes alone. Complete the online form on Kingston House's website and pay in advance online.

Most beaches have a bus stop very near them. There are buses running the length of the South Shore Rd. so you can access John Smith's Bay, Elbow Beach, Warwick Long Bay, Horseshoe Bay, Church Bay and other smaller beaches. The North Shore buses will take you to Gibbons Bay, Shelley Bay, etc. There are a number of lovely beaches in the east end and, although the main bus routes terminate in St. Georges, there is a jitney that will take you to Tobacco Bay, Clearwater Beach and other places of interest as well. Some beaches have showers and change facilities as well as snack vendors but most have few or no amenities. You're best to pack a picnic lunch (we supply things you might need like a cooler) or visit one of the area pubs or cafe's in the area...Swizzle Inn is popular on the South Shore for example. Nearly all of the grocery stores to excellent take-aways. We have beach towels, umbrellas and mats, etc. For a per day fee a number of hotels will let guests other than their own use their facilities including change rooms, showers, lounge chairs and even tennis courts, etc. (Southampton Princess, Elbow Beach Hotel, Coco Reef Hotel, etc.) You'll probably find that it's easiest to wear swim things with a 'cover-up'. It's probably easier if we help you with some of this, and show you on the map when you get here. With regard to cruise ship visitors, we post the schedule of ships calling and can advise you on when and where to go to the main attractions as well as how to find plenty of amazing places off the beaten path. Hope this helps! See you soon, Harry & Marlie

It depends on what you mean by 'walkable'. Clarence Cove is the nearest beach (Admiralty Park) but if you're looking for those big wide pink sand South Shore beaches, you'd best take the bus. Elbow Beach is about a 10 min. ride from town, then there's a string of beaches including Warwick Long Bay, Jobson's Cove, Stone Hole Bay, Chaplin Bay, Peel Bay, Horseshoe Bay, Church Bay, West Whale Bay...the farthest beach to the west would be Snorkel Park at the Dockyard--that would be 55 minutes on the bus or 20 minutes by ferry from Hamilton. Did I mention that you can also go along the South Shore Rd. to the east and find some lovely beaches...all the way to St. Georges and St. David's Island (some of our favourites are in the east end).
