About The Club
The Coral Beach & Tennis Club is majestically located on 26 acres of sub-tropical grounds overlooking the South Shore in Paget parish.
In addition to the 11 cottages interspersed throughout our lush gardens, we also have 23 rooms and 6 suites adjacent to the clubhouse offering spectacular views of the beach and ocean.
The Club House gives one the feeling of casual elegance including the lounge, Games Room, reception area, Coral Room, and Club House Bar. From here walk down to the elegant Longtail Terrace and Beach Terrace, both with spectacular views of the pink sand and turquoise water below. You will also find a variety of shops, fitness studio, and the Frozen Hut on the beach, offering a welcome assortment of soft drinks and tropical cocktails.
Nearby on the premises are 8 championship clay tennis courts, two squash courts, a croquet lawn, an 18-hole putting green, a bocce court, a bowling lawn, and a European Spa.
A Rich History
The Club in its present form dates back to 1948, but the oldest structures on the property were built before 1650.
The Smith family of Bermuda has owned the land for ten generations. Captain Christopher Smith sailed from England in 1624 on the “Return” and, finding Bermuda an agreeable place, decided not to.
Nowadays, it is difficult to associate wars and piracy with this peaceful place but, in Norwood’s first survey of Bermuda in 1626, the property is marked with the symbol of a cannon.
The early settlers were resolved to defend their island against the Spanish. Nearly two centuries later, two mobile guns were mounted to keep Napoleon at bay. They were never used. The restored “West Elbow Bay Battery” is located on the cliff above the beach. “The Mobile Gun Emplacements” are a few steps further uphill.
In more recent years, the name of the Club has been associated with tennis wherever the game is played. In 1939, the first two ‘Bermuda Clay’ courts were laid down (now Har-Tru). A few months later, the invitation tournament was held. It is interesting that the winner of the men’s singles, W. Donald Mcneil, in the same year, won the United States Lawn Tennis Championship at Forest Hills. The first lady champion, Miss Gracyn Wheeler, defeated Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke who later won out at Forest Hills.
