BERMUDA'S Regions & Beaches
BEACHES
Whether you’re into active beaches or relaxing on quiet stretches of shore, you’ll find Bermuda beaches that fit your style – great places to swim, explore, watch wildlife, catch sunset and celebrate.
COVES & CRESCENTS OF Pink Sand
Bermuda’s dramatic coastline holds hidden coves and wide crescents of beach, all blanketed by that iconic pale-pink sand and brushed by gentle surf. Some beaches are popular and prized, like Horseshoe Bay Beach, which USA Today named one of the Caribbean’s top 10 beaches (even though Bermuda isn’t technically in the Caribbean). Other beaches feel like secluded island hideaways. You’ll find great beaches across the island, but the famous South Shore is a perfect starting point.
ROYAL NAVAL DOCKYARD & THE WEST END
The West End is home to the Royal Naval Dockyard, a former Royal Navy stronghold now home to shops, a craft market, national museum, restaurants, attractions and the island’s biggest cruise ship terminal. Discover the Dockyard, the South Shore beaches and many points of interest in-between.
HISTORIC DOCKYARD & South Shore
One of Bermuda’s most popular destinations, the historic Royal Naval Dockyard anchors the West End. The Dockyard is home to a major cruise ship port and serves as a hub for sightseeing, shopping, dining, entertainment and an array of island experiences. Nearby, you’ll find many of the renowned South Shore beaches, including Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay. Climb up Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for panoramic views of the South Shore, and explore the village of Somerset, home to calm bays, candy-coloured churches and the most photogenic little drawbridge you’ll ever see.
HAMILTON & CENTRAL BERMUDA
Central Bermuda’s parishes surround the City of Hamilton, Bermuda’s picturesque, pastel-coloured commercial heart. Neighboring Devonshire and Paget parishes offer natural attractions, historic churches, sandy bays and undulating hills to challenge cyclists and walkers.
PARKS, GARDENS & a Cosmopolitan Capital
Central Bermuda is home to the capital City of Hamilton, a harbour town known for its blend of global sophistication, vibrant nightlife and local flavour. Enjoy dining, shopping, dance clubs and the island’s most cosmopolitan culture along Front Street downtown, and find great beaches, botanical gardens, lush parks and oceanfront golf nearby. There is cachet attached to living “close to town,” and adjoining Paget Parish is home to some of the classiest real estate in the world.
ST. GEORGE’S & THE EAST END
On St. George’s Island, you’ll find the historic Town of St. George, great beaches and many historic treasures. In neighbouring St. David’s Parish, climb a lighthouse, tour pristine nature reserves and visit the oldest home on the island. East-Enders have been welcoming visitors for centuries – discover the heritage that makes them so proud.
NATURAL WONDERS & Bermuda’s
Step back in time as you stroll the centuries-old brick streets of the Town of St. George, Bermuda’s former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The well-preserved historic town and nearby fortress make St. George’s and the East End a haven for British colonial architecture, history and culture. Nearby, discover many unique natural attractions, including the limestone formations of Tobacco Bay Beach, Tom Moore’s Jungle and the Crystal Caves of Bermuda. Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve and Ferry Reach National Park are both flush with flora and birdlife, including several rare species.
