Bermuda’s oldest and most famous pub first opened in 1932 in a 17th-century roadhouse; it was here that Bermuda’s national drink was first concocted, using a potent mix of Gosling’s rum and fruit juices, shaken until frothy and strained into a cocktail glass. The Swizzle Inn is also a popular lunch and dinner spot, serving everything from burgers and pizzas to English classics like shepherd’s pie. Swizzle Inn Pub and Restaurant is located within walking distance of the stunning Crystal and Fantasy Caves.

For those looking to explore, there are rocky coves and tidal pools teeming with marine life. Horseshoe Bay also features amenities such as beach rentals and a cafe, enhancing the comfort of visitors without overpowering the beach's natural charm.
