Clocking in at 21 miles in length and just one mile at its widest point, it’s no wonder that one of Bermuda’s greatest cultural exports is visions of pink-sand beaches. After all, that’s a whole lot of shoreline per square mile. But don’t be fooled by the island’s diminutive size or made complacent by clichés; beyond the cerulean waters and palm trees is a wide range of activities for every kind of traveler. Sure, you can lounge on the beach—and we’d encourage you to do so—but you can also explore Bermuda’s many cultural heritage sites; enjoy fresh-caught fish and locally grown produce; learn about its fascinating geologic history; and, for more of an adventure, take off on a jet ski or a diving excursion. Consider the short travel time (it’s a mere couple of hours from the East cCoast of the United States) and the temperate shoulder-season weather, and you’ve got the ideal weekend getaway. Read on for our recommendations of the best things to do all across the island, from St. George’s to the Royal Naval Dockyard.
