Bermuda Attractions

There's always something fun and exciting to do in Bermuda. The Royal Navy Dockyard, with its Bermuda Maritime Museum, is the number one tourist attraction on Bermuda. Even if you plan to spend all your precious Bermuda time on the pink sandy beaches, try to schedule at least a half-day to check it out. The Royal Naval Dockyard has been transformed into a park, with Victorian street lighting and a Terrace Pavilion and bandstand for concerts. A multimillion-dollar cruise-ship dock has been built, and a tourist village has emerged where vendors push carts filled with food, dry goods, and local crafts. There's a full-service marina with floating docks, a clubhouse, and showers.

Also not to be missed is Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Southampton's main attraction. This completely restored lighthouse, built in 1846, is the oldest cast-iron lighthouse in the world. Although there's a 185-step climb to the top, the panoramic view of Bermuda and its shoreline from the balcony make the exertion worthwhile. Visit the Botanical Gardens, one of Bermuda's major attractions. This 14-hectare (35-acre) landscaped park has hundreds of clearly identified flowers, shrubs, and trees that line the pathways. Attractions include collections of hibiscus and subtropical fruit, an aviary, banyan trees, and even a garden for the blind. So ditch the flip-flops and strap on a comfortable pair of walking shoes, because there's much to explore in Bermuda.
