Top Attractions in Bermuda

St. George

St. George's (formally, the Town of St. George, or St. George's Town), located on the island and within the parish of the same names, settled in 1612, was the first permanent English settlement on the islands of Bermuda. It is often described as the third successful English settlement in the Americas, after St. John's, Newfoundland, and Jamestown, Virginia. In fact, although English fishermen had begun setting up seasonal camps in Newfoundland in the 16th Century, they were expressly forbidden from establishing permanent settlements, and the town of St. John's was not established until circa 1620. Jamestown, also, did not exist until 1619. Prior to that, its settlers were obliged to live within James Fort. St. George's, claimed to be the oldest continuously-inhabited English town in the New World, is consequently suggested to have been the first.

Horseshoe Bay

Horseshoe Bay is perhaps the most famous beach in Bermuda. It has been rated the #8 beach in the world by TripAdvisor. A very popular tourist spot, it lies on the main islands south coast, in the parish of Southampton. The sand of the beach is very fine and displays a very white colour. The beach is equipped with one lifeguard station which is manned during the summer between 10 AM and 6 PM. There is also a café where one can purchase lunch during the summer months, toilet facilities, showers and a foot-washing area for removing sand before departing. A shuttle bus is available from 11 am to 6 pm to transport beach-goers between the beach and the nearest bus stop. It will take one down the hill for $1 and up for $2. The Government provides a special bus service for tourist at the top of the hill that leaves about every 15 minutes. This service is there from about 12 to 6 pm. If you miss the last special bus the regular buses come about every 45 minutes and run til about 10 pm. A beach volleyball competition takes place once a week in the summer months, and is a regular activity for both tourists and locals alike. Horseshoe Bay is also the usual location for a New Years party organised by those members of the significant ex-pat population who have not opted to go overseas for the season. The Bermuda Good Friday KiteFest is a great family event that takes place annually on Good Friday at Horseshoe Bay. The largest annual event in Bermuda also takes place at Horseshoe Bay on Emancipation Day called The Bermuda Beachfest Emancipation Celebration. Beachfest is an action packed 2 day event full of live entertainment, beach sports, cultural traditions, activities and more, and attracts the largest cross-section of locals and visitors on the island. Part of an army base, Warwick Camp, the area is still used for training by the Bermuda Regiment, especially in the winter months. The headland separating the western end from East Whale Bay holds the remains of fortifications that housed a coastal artillery battery, with another on the high ground behind. Horseshoe Bay itself lies in the danger area behind the butts of the 800 yard rifle range, and the western end of the beach is littered with bullets fired from Enfield, Snider–Enfield, Martini–Henry, Lee–Metford, and Lee–Enfield rifles and other weapons of similar calibres. However, this range is no longer used due to the limited range of the 5.56mm NATO rifle cartridge, which has been used for the last three decades.

Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo

The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo is a facility located in Flatts Village, Bermuda, about 700 mi East of the United States and at the geographic center of Bermuda. It was established in 1926 by the Bermuda government to enhance a growing tourism industry and "to inspire appreciation and care of island environments." The facility focuses on showing oceanic island species and in conservation, education, and research related to these species, and contains an aquarium, a natural history museum, and a zoo. Support for the institution comes mainly from the Bermuda Zoological Society and the Atlantic Conservation Partnership, both of which are supported primarily by donations and memberships. The zoo has been accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums since 1993, and participates in four Species Survival Plans as of 2009.

Fort St. Catherine

Fort St. Catherine, or Fort St. Catherines, is a coastal artillery fort at the North-East tip of St. Georges Island, Bermuda. Successively redeveloped, the fort was used first by Bermudian Militia and then by regular Royal Artillery units from 1612 into the 20th Century. Today it houses a museum.

Fort Victoria

Fort Victoria is a disused British Army fort, built to house coastal artillery atop Retreat Hill at the North-East of St. George's Island, in the British colony of Bermuda. The fort shares its hilltop location with Fort Albert, and the pair were named after Her Majesty Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert. Both forts were built in 1842, on the suggestion of Colonel Edward Fanshawe, Royal Engineers, as part of the Bermuda Garrison built up by the British Army to defend the Royal Naval Dockyard and other strategic assets in Bermuda. The only channel through the reefline surrounding the archipelago that is suitable for large vessels passes the North-East ends of St. David's and St. George's Islands, which are at the East End of the archipelago of Bermuda. For this reason, the bulf of the nearly a hundred forts and gun batteries built in Bermuda between 1612 and 1939 are located on the eastern coasts of these two islands, and on Paget Island and the Castle Islands Fortifications, on smaller islands between St. George's and St. David's, and St. David's and the Main Island respectively. Forts Victoria and Albert overlook Fort St. Catherine's, on the headland below. Fort Victoria is landward of Fort Albert, and the Western Redoubt is behind it. On the coast to the East is Alexandra Battery. The entire North-Eastern end of the island served as St. George's Garrison, the army base that was initially the headquarters for the Bermuda Garrison. After the infantry component of the garrison and the headquarters were moved to Prospect Camp in the 1860s, St. George's Garrison became primarily a Royal Artillery base, serving the various coastal artillery detachments in the East End forts and batteries. Fort Victoria was originally armed with eighteen 32 pounder canon. As with many forts built in this period, the armament was already becoming obsolete by the time it was completed. In the 20th century, the fort was given two Breech-Loading 9.2 inch gun Mk X . Forts Victoria and Albert were included in property leased to a succession of hotel operators, which were permitted to damage the structures to create recreational areas for guests. The hotel building itself, after years of sitting vacant, was removed by explosives in 2008, which badly damaged Fort Victoria. The sole 9.2-inch gun that had been remaining at Fort Victoria has now been moved to the Royal Naval Dockyard for installation at the Bermuda Maritime Museum in The Keep, the largest fort in Bermuda. As a result of their historical significance, with fortifications spanning the full four centuries of English settlement in the New World, the forts at the East End of Bermuda, together with St. George's Town have been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

Castle Harbour

Castle Harbour is a large natural harbour in Bermuda. It is located between the northeastern end of the main island and St. David's Island. Originally called Southampton Port, it was renamed as a result of its heavy fortification in the early decades of the Seventeenth century.

Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is an Anglican cathedral located on Church Street in Hamilton, Bermuda. The original building was designed in the Early English style by James Cranston of Oxford in 1844 and was completed in 1869. That building was destroyed by fire in 1884. Scottish architect William Hay, who had been consulted on the construction of the first building in 1848-1849 and again in 1862, was hired to design the current structure in 1885 in the Gothic Revival style. While Hay designed most of the structure, his partner George Henderson designed the eastern portion of the cathedral. Built between 1886-1905, to serve the state church, the structure was primarily built from Bermuda limestone with the exception of several decorative features made from carved Caen stone that were brought in from France. It is one of two cathedrals in Bermuda, the other being the Roman Catholic St. Theresas, also in Hamilton. Composer S. Drummond Wolff was organist at the cathedral from 1959-1962. For a small fee, visitors to the cathedral can climb the tower for a view of Hamilton and its harbour.

Bermuda Maritime Museum

The Bermuda Maritime Museum is the largest museum in Bermuda and explores Bermudas history. The maritime museum is located within the grounds of the fortress Keep of the former Royal Naval Dockyard in Sandys Parish on the Ireland Island at the western end of Bermuda. The BMM publishes a number of books relating to Bermudas history.

Bermuda Botanical Gardens

Bermuda Botanical Gardens features 36 acres of flowers, shrubs, and trees. The Botanical Gardens are in Paget Parish, Bermuda, a short drive from downtown Hamilton. The Bermuda Botanical Gardens also includes Camden, the official residence of Bermudas Premier, currently Mr. Michael Dunkley, although he does not actually live there.

Somerset Bridge

Somerset Bridge is a small bridge in Bermuda. Connecting Somerset Island with the mainland in the western parish of Sandys, Somerset Bridge is reputedly the smallest working drawbridge in the world. The original bridge was built in 1620, and much of its structure remains, although the bridge was largely rebuilt in the mid 20th century. The original bridge was cranked open by hand, whereas the current bridge consists of two cantilevered half-spans, separated by an 18-inch gap bridged by a thick timber panel. The entire width of the drawbridge measures 32 inches. The panel is removed whenever a yacht wishes to pass beneath the bridge, allowing the unstayed mast to pass through the gap. A captain must wait for a passer-by to assist in opening the drawbridge. On a series of Bermudian dollar banknotes issued from 2009, the bridge is featured on the reverse of the pink five dollar note, along with Horseshoe Bay and opposite an Atlantic blue marlin. Nearby buildings often take their name from the bridge, such as a post office a park and, until October 2008, a sports club.

Paget Marsh Nature Reserve

Paget Marsh Nature Reserve, also known as Paget Marsh, is an unspoiled marsh, forest, and nature reserve in central Bermuda. It is located next to St. Pauls Church along Middle Road in Paget Parish, to the south of Hamilton Harbour. The 25 acres official reserve is protected by the Bermuda National Trust and Bermuda Audubon Society. It is also a Ramsar wetland of international importance. The reserves extensive peat marsh remains unchanged since the days of the first settlers. It is dotted with Bermuda cedar and Sabal bermudana palmetto trees. An extensive boardwalk, erected in 1999, has made the ponds, mangroves, grasslands, and forests accessible. The water bodies and forests in this area provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, especially birds.

Spittal Pond Nature Reserve

Spittal Pond Nature Reserve is the largest wildlife sanctuary in Bermuda, located close to the Atlantic coast of Smiths Parish. Surrounding the third largest pond in Bermuda, Spittal Pond, it covers an area of 60 acres . It is one of 13 parks or reserves managed by the Bermuda Department of Conservation Services which protects and conserves environmentally critical areas and habitats. The pond reserve, a wetland site, is one of the seven Ramsar Sites in Bermuda, which was approved on 10 May 1999 for the criteria of its unique characteristics such as its lagoon which is permanently brackish, ecology featuring wet grassland and mangrove forests, seasonal shorebirds, other waterbirds and European eels.

Victoria Park

Victoria Park is centrally located in the city of Hamilton, Bermuda . It is a public park that is opened daily to the public during daylight hours. It is widely used as an entertainment venue for free concerts and the like. There is also a rather attractive bandstand in the middle of the park installed in 1889 in commemoration of Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee, and renewed in 2008. The park also contains attractive flower gardens and several species of endemic plants and trees. The park takes up a full block, with a number of benches and public restrooms. The park is bordered by Victoria Street, Washington Street, Dundonald Street and Cedar Avenue. It is under the administration of the Corporation of Hamilton. After the bandstand restoration, the Corporation of Hamilton erected a plaque in the park, with the following inscription: Victoria Park The Corporation of Hamiltons first Public Park This site was known as Deans Bottom, in reference to the low lying, marshy tract of land first used as a recreational area by children attending a nearby school, established by Mr Alfred Dean. The parcel of land remained in a natural state until the 1880s when the bandstand arrived from Scotland. This site was chosen for its installation after the bandstand had been purchased by the City of Hamilton, to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. The bandstand was installed in 1889 and in 2008-2009 received a comprehensive restoration. The Victoria Park Bandstand and indeed the grounds in which it sits, has played a significant civic role for all of Bermuda. All are welcome.

St. Peter's Church

Their Majesties Chappell, St. Peter's Church, in St. George's, Bermuda, is the oldest surviving Anglican church in continuous use outside the British Isles. It is also reportedly the oldest continuously used Protestant church in the New World. A UNESCO World Heritage Site (together with related fortifications), St. George's Town is the oldest surviving English settlement in the New World, having been settled by the Virginia Company in 1612 (in the aftermath of the wrecking of its flagship, the Sea Venture, in Bermuda in 1609).

Hamilton Princess & Beach Club

The Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, A Fairmont Managed Hotel (generally known as The Princess) is one of the grandest and most famous hotels in Bermuda, located in Pembroke Parish just outside the City of Hamilton. It also happens to be the oldest hotel in the Fairmont chains. One of the largest in Bermuda it has over 400 rooms. It is one of two Fairmont Hotels on the island, the second being the Fairmont Southampton which was originally opened as the Southampton Princess.

The Reefs Hotel & Club

Great Sound

The Great Sound is a body of water shaped by the islands of Bermuda. It dominates the southwest of the island chain, and forms a natural harbour. It is surrounded on all sides by the islands, except for the northeast, where it is open to the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, two small peninsulas jut into the sound separating it from the smaller Little Sound. In the east, the great Sound narrows to form Hamilton Harbour. Bermudas capital, Hamilton, sits against the northern shore of this harbour. Numerous islands lie within the Great Sound, most of them in the southeastern part of it. These include Darrells Island, Hawkins Island, Long Island, Marshalls Island, Hinsons Island and Watling Island.

Hungry Bay Nature Reserve

Hungry Bay Nature Reserve is a nature reserve on the east coast of Bermuda. It was established in 1986. It includes the Hungry Bay area and the largest mangrove coastal swamp in Bermuda. It is protected by a Tree Preservation Order and designated as an official Nature Reserve within the Parks system of Bermuda. The Hungry Bay Mangrove Swamp Reserve, a wetland site, is one of the seven Ramsar Sites in Bermuda, which was approved for a Ramsar site of importance on 10 May 1999 for the criteria for its unique characteristics such being the largest northerly mangrove swamp in the Atlantic Ocean, bird species which visit during winter, and its many native crustacean species, including the endangered terrestrial hermit crab and giant land crab .

Cooper's Island

Coopers Island is part of the chain which makes up Bermuda. It is located in St. Georges Parish, in the northeast of the territory. The 77 acre island is located in the northeast of Castle Harbor, and thanks to reclamation work is now joined to St. Davids Island as a southeastern peninsula, although for most purposes it is still considered as though it were a separate island. Its most notable feature is the expanse of Annies Bay, which stretches along much of the islands east coast. The island has been used by many United States government agencies, having been the property of the US Army, US Air Force and US Navy, as well as previously being occupied by a NASA space tracking station. Until 1995, access was restricted, but it is now open to the public. Most of Coopers Island is owned by the Bermudian government and is preserved as the Coopers Island Nature Reserve, which has been under active restoration since 2009. Swimming, walking, picnicing, bird watching and snorkelling are all permitted within the reserve.

Bermuda Motorsports Park

Bermuda Motorsports Park is a small motor racing circuit located in St. Davids Island, Bermuda. It plays host to a variety of motorsport events, primarily motorcycle racing and kart racing but also motocross with a small infield dirt section. The circuit itself is a multi-layout venue located at the eastern end of L.F. Wade International Airport, Bermudas only airfield. The circuit is the home of the Bermuda Motorcycle Racing Club which was formed in the 1990s.

9 Beaches

9 Beaches is a resort in Sandys Parish on the west end of Bermuda featuring access to nine beaches. This was historically Admiralty land (a satellite of the Royal Naval Dockyard), part of which was purchased in 1809 with more acquired in 1914 and 1915 for a Wireless Telegraphy station, and was transferred from the Royal Navy to the Royal Canadian Navy (later the Canadian Forces) in 1963. The station (by then known as CFS Daniel's Head) closed in 1995 and the property was earmarked for tourism use. The resort, which bills itself as "ultra casual," has 84 cottage tent style cabanas on stilts for rooms, many of them wading out into the Atlantic Ocean (the substantial naval buildings on the property were ignored in redeveloping it as visitor accommodation). All rooms have a direct view of the water and many feature Plexiglas floors to allowing viewing of the ocean below. The resort features simple amenities in a natural setting. Rooms do not have telephones or televisions, but guests are given complimentary cell phones upon arrival. Wireless internet is also available. Bathrooms are small, with showers, but no bathtubs. The resort is considered eco-friendly, employing solar panels and local plant landscaping. 9 Beaches has a formal restaurant called Hi Tide, a bar and grill called Dark N'Stormy, and a "takeout shack." Breakfast is included in the cost of the room. A surf shack on the property offers a variety of mostly water-based activities. Some of the more exotic activities offered include a floating climbing wall, kite boarding, and trampolining. The property consists of 18 acres, most of them beach front property. Approximately 100 feet off shore is a rocky outcrop known as Daniel's Head Island.

Bermuda National Library

The Bermuda National Library is the national library in Bermuda and it is located in the capital city of Hamilton. It was founded in 1839 by British soldier, administrator and meteorologist, the governor William Reid, who reigned as governor from 1839 to 1846, and was at the time located in what is today's Cabinet Building.

Mid Ocean Club

The Mid Ocean Club is a private 6,520 yard, 18-hole golf course in Tuckers Town, Bermuda. Designed by Charles Blair Macdonald in 1921, it was modified to its current design in 1953 by Robert Trent Jones. It is consistently placed highly among world courses and is ranked 45th by Golf Digest for courses outside the United States. The Mid Ocean Club hosted its second PGA Grand Slam of Golf in October 2008. Previously, the tournament had its home at Poipu Bay Golf Course in Hawaii. The Mid Ocean Club course has been played by many heads of state such as George H. W. Bush, Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, and the Duke of Windsor. Some of the more well-known holes include the par-3 "Redan" 17th hole, the par-4 18th hole, as well as the signature par-4 5th. Ian Fleming mentions the club in his James Bond short story Quantum of Solace, describing the course as a "fine links where all the quality play and get together at the club afterwards for gossip and drinks".

Gibbs Hill Lighthouse

Built in 1844 by the Royal Engineers, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is the taller of two lighthouses on Bermuda, and one of the first lighthouses in the world to be made of cast-iron. This is because at that time, steel still was not able to be bent. The optic consists of a Fresnel lens from 1904 revolving on steel bearings. However for most of its history, the lens revolved on a bed of 1,200 pounds of mercury. While it is certainly not extremely tall in lighthouse standards, the hill that it stands on is one of the highest on the island. The lights focal plane on Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, therefore, is at 354 feet above sea level. Airplanes can see its flashes from over 100 miles away. The lighthouse has 185 steps to the top in eight flights. Until 1964, most of the light was run by hand, but in June of that year, the whole system was automated and runs on electricity. Sixty-thousand people ascended the lighthouse in 1985, and it continues to be a popular tourist attraction. A radar antenna for marine shipping was installed atop the lighthouse in 1987 supported on a steel space frame fixed at the original bolt locations. The radar and supporting frame were undamaged in September 2003 despite the oscillation of the tower during Hurricane Fabian. This movement caused two gallons of mercury to slop out of the lens support trough and put the light out of operation. The 1904 lens was repaired in 2004 with steel bearings to replace the mercury. At the base of the tower is the Lighthouse Tea Room, a restaurant converted from the lighthouse keepers former living quarters, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily.

St. David's Lighthouse

St. David's Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse sited at the eastern end of St. David's Island on a hill overlooking the headland of St. David's in Bermuda. It is one of only two 'traditional lighthouses' in Bermuda, the other being Gibbs Hill Lighthouse at the south-western end of the main island, both lights are well known tourist attractions.

Hamilton Hotel

Hamilton Hotel was the first hotel in Bermuda. Located on Church Street in Hamilton, construction began in 1852 and opened its doors in 1861. The hotel was instrumental in starting tourism in Bermuda. It was destroyed by fire in 1955.

Kindley Air Force Base

Kindley Air Force Base was a United States Air Force base in Bermuda from 1948–1970, having been operated from 1943 to 1948 by the United States Army Air Forces as Kindley Field.

Darrell's Island
