What to see in Bermuda: 10 must-sees

Walk barefoot along the 2 kilometers of pink sand at Horseshoe Bay, the best-known beach in Southampton, Bermuda, and watch how rocky cliffs divide the coast into small sheltered coves. Swim in turquoise, crystal-clear waters, snorkel near the rock formations, or stroll along the shore as the sea breeze accompanies your walk. Rent a beach umbrella, take a relaxing dip, and end the day watching the sunset over the Atlantic from the fine pink sand.

Walk along the 2 kilometers of pink sand at Elbow Beach in Paget, where the color comes from coral fragments crushed by the waves. Swim in the turquoise, transparent waters, snorkel close to shore, or simply sunbathe with the Atlantic breeze. Luxury resorts with oceanfront restaurants line the shore, ideal for dinner at sunset. The fine sand and gentle slope of the beach make swimming easy, even for those traveling with children.

Descend the walkways of Crystal Caves in St. George's and walk over underground lakes of crystal-clear water, surrounded by stalactites and calcite formations hanging from the ceiling. Watch how the light reflects on the water and casts shadows among the rocks while the guide explains how these cavities formed over millions of years. Wear comfortable shoes: the tour includes stairs and wet surfaces. Afterward, combine your visit with the nearby Fantasy Caves or a stroll through the historic center of St. George's.

Explore the Bermuda Aquarium in Flatts Village, founded in 1926, and get a close look at more than 200 species of fish, sea turtles, and corals from the local reefs. Head to the tropical fish tanks, watch the sharks from just a few meters away, and learn how the sea surrounding the island sustains life. Then move on to the museum, where artifacts and exhibits tell the maritime and natural history of Bermuda. Finish your visit with collections that explain the Bermudians' relationship with the ocean—a short but complete stop if you're traveling with children or interested in marine biology.

Explore Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda, starting on Front Street along the harbor, where pastel houses in pink, mint, and yellow set the rhythm of the city. Visit the Bermuda Museum and stroll through its gardens before wandering among the markets and shops downtown. Admire the colonial architecture, observe the daily life of its residents, and discover how British tradition and modernity coexist on every corner of this small island capital.

Wander the cobblestone streets of St. George's, the oldest town in Bermuda, founded in 1612 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk among houses painted in pastel tones, well-tended gardens, and the Angel Fortress, a witness to the first English settlers. Visit the local museum to understand how those early inhabitants lived, and climb the ramparts to look out over the harbor that gave rise to the settlement. Every corner preserves the colonial architecture that makes this site a testament to a foundational era of the Atlantic.

Admire the Clock Tower in Hamilton, Bermuda's iconic landmark, which according to local tradition arrived from England in the twelfth century. Climb the tower to see the city from above and learn how this medieval relic ended up in the Caribbean. Explore its structure, take note of the architectural details, and discover the stories its stones have kept for centuries in the heart of the capital.
