Things To Do
The Swizzle Inn Pub and Restaurant
Bermuda’s oldest pub The Swizzle Inn is home to the national drink the Rum Swizzle created in the early 1900’s. Open daily from 11am-1am, be sure to stop by for a drink and a bite. As the locals say; Swizzle In, Swager Out!
Horseshoe Bay
Horseshoe Bay is known for its signature pink sand, gorgeous turquoise water, and natural limestone cliffs elevated with picturesque greenery! Consistently ranked in the top 30 best beaches in the world, it is a popular spot for visitors boasting nearly 500 meters of coastline, and capped on either end by small coves with calm waters. Public busses stop nearby on South Road between Horseshoe Road and Eastdale Lane, which is just a short 9 minute walk down the path to the bay!
Tobacco Bay, Bermuda
*Stephone’s Favorite Spot in Bermuda* A beautiful, quiet bay on the north end of the island, Tobacco bay is our favorite spot to snorkel in Bermuda! You can find beautiful seahorses, baby squid, parrot fish, sergeant majors, butterfly fish and blue wrasse in calm shallow waters. Tobacco bay beach club is also a great option for a quick bite to eat (the Wahoo nuggets are always a good choice!) and a cold drink.
Crystal and Fantasy Caves
Discovered in 1907 by two boys playing cricket, the caves are great way to escape the sun and experience something unique and other-worldly! Formed over millions of years, these caves feature stunning azure underground pools and incredible formations of every size and shape imaginable. Reservations are recommended, but not necessary. We advise booking in advance by phone.
Gosling Bros Ltd, Wine & Spirit Merchants
Founded in 1806 and producing since 1857, Goslings is known around the world for their Black Seal Rum and Stormy Ginger Beer. Today, you can find their shop on Front Street in Hamilton, Bermuda's capitol. This is the same location they opened in 1824! While you can get a wide variety of adult beverages from their store, we encourage you to try some of their iconic rum or ginger beer while you're here.
Front Street
Front Street is the main thoroughfare of Bermuda's capital town, Hamilton. With colorful, colonial buildings on the north side of the street and the sparkling harbor on the south, this stretch is perfect for shopping, a bite to eat or people-watching!
Glass Beach
A small, unique beach where the shore is almost entirely made up of sea glass! Why is there so much sea glass in this area? Before the days of glass recycling, many people dumped their unneeded glass into the sea. The former dumping point was likely in this area of the island, and it is now being tumbled and washed ashore. If you visit, please be mindful of the nature and the local community, and don't remove glass from the beach, or you could be fined.
Somerset Bridge
The world's smallest working drawbridge! It has been in operation since the 1620s, and spans only 32 inches. The Somerset Bridge is raised and lowered by hand, and allows masted dinghies to pass through a small channel connecting the Great Sound with Ely's Harbor. It is also featured on the Bermudian $20 bill.
Bermuda Botanical Gardens
Established in 1898, these 36 acres have been a popular spot to walk and relax among the lush foliage for more than a century. Along with flowers, you’ll find a palm garden with native palmetto trees, a subtropical fruit garden and a sensory garden for the blind, with Braille signs fronting fragrant blooms and herbs. Greenhouses hold collections of orchids and succulents, and the grounds are also home to Camden House, the official residence of Bermuda’s Premier, and the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art.
Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo
The Aquarium houses hundreds of fascinating fishes like barracudas, sharks, parrotfish, groupers, angelfish and moray eels. Don't miss the 140,000-gallon North Rock exhibit, which holds one of the largest living coral collections in the world. Outside, you'll find a pool where a troupe of harbour seals (Calico, Ariel and Pebbles) live and play. During their feeding times (several times a day), see them feasting and giving kisses. The Natural History Museum features exhibits on the geology and marine biology of Bermuda. The zoo has many displays are under large, netted areas, making them highly interactive and close to the animals. You'll also find areas devoted to the flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands and Madagascar – here you can meet turtles, tree kangaroos and other species. Be sure to visit Oscar the Alligator, one of BAMZ's oldest residents, and check out the endangered Green Turtles, part of the zoo's conservation efforts for turtles and other marine creatures.
