Best Outdoor Activities in Bermuda

"Imagine a vast expanse of pristine white sand, cerulean waters and swaying palm trees. Elbow Beach is it, and it's one of Bermuda's loveliest, with nary a clump of seaweed in sight. The beach is flanked by exclusive resorts, but most of it is public territory. Sometimes the waves get choppy and kitesurfers take over."

"The trail meanders past spectacular beaches, tucked-away historic sites and popular points of interest including Scaur Hill Fort & Park, Elbow Beach, Shelly Bay Beach and the Town of St. George. There are many access paths along the route; pop in at any point and start exploring."

"Checked into our hotel, The Fourways Inn. We went to the local market to buy cheese and cocktails. We had planned on spending the rest of the afternoon by the pool, but it rained. That was fine since we enjoyed rosé and cheese near the terrace."

"Come dinnertime, share a pizza-by-the-foot at Bone Fish Bar & Grill, or let the kids play arcade games while you sip a pint at the Frog & Onion Pub, home to Bermuda’s only craft brewery."

"We had lunch at the Frog & Onion Pub, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I wish we’d gone to Bonefish instead."

"Tom Moore's Jungle, part of the nature reserve that comprises coastal mangroves, native palmetto and cedar woods, caves and swimming grottos, is found behind Tom Moore's Tavern. A path leads to a cave with a deep natural swimming pool inside – a great place to cool down. From here, a woodland trail leads to Blue Hole Park, a former dolphin show lagoon framed by mangroves; most days, you'll find people jumping off the 12ft to 15ft cliffs there."

"Small but beautifully formed, these two caves are one of the island's biggest attractions, and justifiably so. Entertaining 45-minute tours lead you down steep steps; you get the benefit of a state-of-the-art lighting system that subtly illuminates the delicate straw stalactites and frozen stone waterfalls. Crystal Cave is the more striking of the two, with a pontoon walkway over shimmering waters that reveal more beautiful rock formations, as well as half a dozen cell phones that escaped slippery hands."

"Two things you have to do in Bermuda - visit the Swizzle Inn and the Crystal Caves - are conveniently located right beside each other. Enjoy walking around Hamilton and grab breakfast or brunch in the morning, then for lunch take a taxi to the original Swizzle Inn to enjoy the national drink of Bermuda, the Rum Swizzle!. You won't regret it!"

"As far back as 1623, Captain John Smith (of Pocahontas fame) commented on these "vary strange, darke, and cumbersome" caverns. Nevertheless…"
