Beach Tennis is an exciting new sport that offers an excellent cardio workout with low impact to the knees and joints. It's a lot like regular tennis, except beach tennis is played on a regulation beach volleyball court, using a slightly depressurized tennis ball. The catch is you can't let the ball hit the ground.
Come and join us every Saturday at
Horseshoe Bay - Southampton
starting MAY 3rd from 11 am - 3 pm.
Come and play Beach Tennis - all you need to do is bring your own tennis racquet ! Please email us if you are coming.
Start playing BEACH TENNIS and enter the September tournament from the 19th-21st!

| Glow Worm Cruises - Aug 30 & 31 |
|
|
Bermuda has its own spectacular fireworks display and it doesn’t require firecrackers!
Bermuda’s fireworm or glow worm produces bioluminescent displays during its mating activities. Through the months of June, July, August and September, between two and three nights after a full moon, after sunset this illuminated mating ritual can be witnessed. In calm inlets, bioluminescent fireworms swarm to the surface of the sea and engage in sensuous dances and as they do, they give off a luminescent glow that lights up the water. Lasting only a few minutes, the dance is repeated the following month. The Glow Worm Cruise leaves from the BUEI Dock in the evening before sunset and heads to a calm area to witness this monthly ritual.
Members $35.00 & Non Members $40.00 – Must be over 14 year of age.
To purchase tickets please call the Oceans Gift Shop at 297-7314 - Credit cards accepted.
