Beautiful Bermuda - Beaches, Breezes & Blue Skies
Bermuda is one of the most beautiful islands on the planet, and I have had the pleasure of visiting this amazing island several times. With 75 miles of coastline, there are so many gorgeous beaches to experience, including the famous pink sand covered Horseshoe Bay Beach and Elbow Beach. This island may be small in size with only a little over 20 square miles, but it offers so many exciting things to explore. From discovering the history in the capital city of Hamilton and the parish of St. George' east end, to exploring natural wonders of the Crystal Caves and Blue Hole Hill Park, Bermuda has something for all travelers to enjoy.
Beaches
Bermuda beaches come in all shapes and shades of sand and are excellent for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing and relaxing. Most famous are the south shore beaches, with vast stretches of pink-tinged sand, interspersed with tucked away coves. The white sand contains pink flecks - remains of the tiny foraminifera organism that grows beneath the reef offshore.
History
Art Galleries & Theatres
The City of Hamilton has plenty of history to offer, dating back to the 1700’s. City Hall & Arts Centre is located in the heart of Hamilton with two art museums and a theatre, which often showcases local talents. This art reflects the history of Bermuda’s architecture as well as today’s modern infrastructure, people and the natural environment. The Bermuda Botanical Gardens in Paget is home to Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art. Experience Bermuda as seen through the eyes of artists like Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Jack Bush and Albert Gleizes among many others.
Forts
Centuries ago, the forts in Bermuda were built to protect the island from invaders. Today some have become notable museums on the island, displaying the historical war memorabilia. Built in the 19th Century, Fort Scaur was built by the British to defend the attacks from the Americans.
Historical sites
The Unfinished Church in St. George’s is one of the top attractions to see in Bermuda. Enjoy panoramic views of the island from Gibbs Hill Lighthouse and the Old Bermuda State House, also known as the Sessions House is the oldest building in Bermuda built in 1620. Take the entire family on an outing to the West End…Discover the Royal Naval Dockyard…Bermuda’s Royal Outing!
Adventure
Crystal caves
Crystal and Fantasy Caves is not to be missed. It is a perfect activity for the whole family. Explore the magnificent caves that have been forming beneath the island of Bermuda for thousands of years!
Parks and nature reserves
Shelly Bay combines the natural beauty of Bermuda’s beaches with the red mangrove forests and saltwater ponds in the nature reserve. The playground and shallow water is ideal for children, while the nature trail is an easy walk for all ages. Treat yourself to an overlooking view of the ocean and Dockyard in the distance.
Shipwrecks
The Sea Venture was the first ship to wreck off the island in 1609. Since then there have been dozens of ships that where unable to make it to the island or got into trouble leaving. Montana and Constellation are popular, fascinating shipwrecks to explore.
