1. Unwind on the Beautiful Horseshoe Bay
Bermuda’s most popular beach is a must-see for any traveler! Situated in the parish of Southampton, this postcard-perfect spot is a great place to relax and watch the Atlantic Ocean’s waves crash against the white sand shores.
2. Experience the Magical Crystal Caves of Bermuda
These unmissable caves were formed over thousands of years into the vibrant underground magical landscape visitors enjoy today. With clear underground pools and crystals in all shapes and hues, the crystals are a great day out for the whole family.
3. Visit the National Museum of Bermuda on Your Trip
To get a sense of the vast history of our small island, the National Museum of Bermuda is an insightful, interesting place to visit. Learn about more than 500 years of history through interactive exhibitions in the island’s largest fort.
4. Enjoy Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse
Built in 1844, Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse was one of the first lighthouses in the world to be made from cast iron. It is the taller of the two lighthouses on Bermuda and offers great panoramas of the island.
5. Visit the World’s Smallest Working Drawbridge
You’ll have to see it to believe it! Head to Somerset Bridge to get from the mainland to Somerset Island on this little piece of history.
6. Learn About Military History at Fort St. Catherine
Dating back to a wooden structure in 1612, Fort St. Catherine was replaced by a stone fort in 1614. It has been rebuilt many times over its history, with the latest iteration being open to visitors who are interested in the island’s military past.
The fortress, alongside the forts at the East End of Bermuda, together with St. George’s Town, has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
7. Daydream Amidst the Flowers in Bermuda’s Botanical Gardens
If you’d like a break from the beach, we recommend enjoying the botanical gardens. Opened in 1898, the gardens have 36 acres of shrubs, flowers, and trees to enjoy.
Every April, art lovers can enjoy Bermuda’s Annual Exhibition and the nearby Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
8. Go Whale Watching at South Shore
If you want to see gentle giants swim and surface in a beautiful climate, we recommend visiting South Shore, Bermuda between March and early April.
Look out for humpback whales, with the help of some binoculars in this area. West Whale Bay Park is also a great location for sightings, with picnic tables and lawns making it a great photo stop.
9. Discover the Mysteries of the Unfinished Church
Fans of architecture can enjoy exploring the Gothic arches that tower over the town of St George’s. The Unfinished Church was designed to replace St Peter’s Church, which had been destroyed by a storm.
Building commenced in 1874, but parishioners were divided over whether the new church should go ahead or St Peter’s should be repaired. Their disagreement left the church standing as it is today.
10. Walk Along the Historic Railway Trail
For a slice of history on your vacation, hikers can enjoy walking sections of the 18-mile-long Railway Trail. The Bermuda Railway’s original 22-mile track was the main mode of transport on the island from 1931 to 1948 and intrepid travelers can still visit portions of the overgrown railway beds today.
