is often misunderstood as being a part of the Caribbean chain of islands, but actually
it’s a British Overseas Territory located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! Because of this
location, the climate is a lot milder than Bermuda’s neighbouring islands.
This archipelago is loved for its crystal clear turquoise water, pink-sand beaches, and a laid back
British in uence. The rich history coupled with the very best that nature has to offer makes
Bermuda an eye-opening place to visit.
While its history may run deep, these days Bermuda is one of the hottest vacation spots in the
world. In addition to the many museums and forts that you can visit, Bermuda also hosts world-
class diving, stunning beaches, snorkeling, shing, gol ng and much more.

located in the Southampton Parish. And while it is certainly the most
popular and therefore most visited beach, you will still be charmed by the silky pink sand that
trails into the bluest ocean you’ll ever see.
Beach-rental facilities are plenty here along with change rooms and beach side cafes. If you are
seeking calmer waters, head over to Port Royal Cove.
Other beaches worth checking out nearby are Elbow beach, Warwick Long Bay Beach, and
John Smith’s Bay which is an excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling.

10. Just because you came for the beach doesn’t mean you won’t be marveled by the history laying
within the walls of the National Museum of Bermuda. It is located at the Royal Naval Dockyard
(another site worth seeing) and is one of the architectural highlights in Bermuda.
This large complex is situated in a huge fort which is divided from the rest of the dockyard by a
beautiful moat. When you cross the drawbridge, you will walk into one of the most beautiful
in the world. It hosts eight historic exhibition buildings which showcase

caves have been gaining the attention of visitors since as early as the 17 century. These days,
modern infrastructure has been built for you to go 120 feet below sea level to see the eye-

The capital of Bermuda overlooks a stunning harbor and is the commercial, cultural, and
historical epicenter of the archipelago. Everything from the multi-colored buildings that pave
the streets to the wide range of high-end shopping, culinary delights, art galleries, and
museums will give any visitor a valid reason to stick around for more than just a day.
Most of the action takes place on Front Street where you will see troves of cruise ships parked
amongst other tour boats and ferries that ship tourists back and forth between the islands.
A lot of the cultural highlights can be found on Hamilton. There are the historically signi cant
buildings which go back as far as the 1800s, including the Bermuda Cabinet Building, St.
Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, St. Paul’s Church, and the Anglican Cathedral of the Most Holy
Trinity. Even if you only have time to swing by for a quick photo, it is worth the visit just to
catch a glimpse of the fascinating architecture that appears to be frozen in time.
Other highlights worth mentioning are the Bermuda National Gallery which showcases many
styles of artwork on a rotating basis as well as the Bermuda House of Assembly which is known
as the oldest Parliament in the Western Hemisphere.

19. 7. Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse

21. Image via Flickr by
For stunning views of Bermuda make a trip over to Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse. Built in 1844, this
lighthouse is the tallest of the two on Bermuda and is renowned as one of the original
lighthouses in the world that is made entirely of cast-iron.
It may not seem all that big from up-close but this century old lighthouse shoots a beam that
can be spotted by ships 40 miles away at sea, and by planes ying 10,000 feet high from as far
as 120 miles away!
To get to the top, you will need to climb all 185 steep steps. Even for a seasoned hiker, this climb
is going to seem impossible at rst, especially if you experience discomfort in close spaces.
Don’t let the steps put you off as your efforts will be rewarded with an absolutely breathtaking
360-degree view of Bermuda which covers both the shoreline and the Atlantic Ocean.
A little bonus tip for those travelling in spring – you might be lucky enough to spot the migrating
whales.
