ONE SMALL ISLAND, MANY Paths to Paradise
Atlantic Ocean waters, pink-sand beaches and rocky coves connect with bays, parks, preserves, marshes, forests, gardens, caves and grottos, providing homes for a huge variety of flora and fauna. From 40-ton humpback whales to colourful lizards and rare birds, Bermuda is teeming with wildlife and natural wonders big and small. Consider this your guide to the island’s natural attractions, whether you’re looking for major points of interest or secluded scenic hideaways.

SPORTS, RECREATION & Spas
Winding trails, oceanfront golf courses and exciting pro sports: Bermuda has many ways for you to see (and be part of) the action. Hike, bike, golf, go horseback riding on the beach, experience a game of cricket and more. And when it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, enjoy a treatment at one of the island’s pampering spas.

OCEAN VIEW TRAILS TO SPA TREATMENTS: DISCOVER A Feel-Good Island
Whether you’re exploring an oceanside trail or immersed in a spa treatment at a world-class spa, Bermuda offers many ways to unwind and unplug from the everyday. For an invigorating adventure, hike or bike the island end-to-end or go rock climbing on coastal cliffs. For some leisurely play, follow in the footsteps of champions on Bermuda’s six golf courses. Or find serenity in a subterranean limestone cavern, where spa treatments feel all the more relaxing. Whatever your speed or style, you’ll find a sports, recreation or spa experience perfect for you.

HIKING & BIKING Highlights
Hit the island’s lush trails to enjoy flowering pink oleander hedges and waterside views you can’t reach from a scooter, bus or taxi. The historic Railway Trail snakes through tranquil landscapes and along stunning rocky coastline, offering panoramic vistas. Many other trails are waiting to be discovered, too. Average annual temperatures are cycling and hiking-friendly, but it’s best to avoid the mid-day heat in summer.

NO EARPHONES NEEDED: ENJOY THE ISLAND’S SIGHTS & SOUNDS WHILE Hiking or Biking
Few countries can be traversed in a day by bicycle; fewer still on foot. But following Bermuda’s cross-island Railway Trail, you can do just that. You can also explore quiet trails in Tom Moore’s Jungle or scramble over rocks near John Smith’s Bay or Astwood Cove. No matter what path you choose, you’ll get up-close to the sights, sounds, aromas and rhythms of island life. So leave your earphones in your room and experience Bermuda’s mystique in dialect, birdsong and surf.

Golf in Bermuda

Tennis in Bermuda
In the nearly 150 years since Bermudian Mary Ewing Outerbridge brought the sport to the U.S., the island has served up quite a legacy for tennis.

Bermuda Loves Tennis
The game of tennis as we know it has important roots in Bermuda. Mary Ewing Outerbridge, who is widely considered the “Mother of American Tennis,” was born in the U.S. to Bermudian parents. Mary picked it up during a visit to the island in 1874, and later brought tennis equipment back to her home in Staten Island, New York. In the U.S. and Bermuda alike, tennis has since been a fixture in the sporting world.

ON the Water
THE LURE OF BERMUDA’S Water Wonderland
Cerulean, turquoise, azure – there are many colours to describe Bermuda’s brilliant blue water, and even more ways to enjoy it. Set sail on the Atlantic Ocean, paddle around coastal cliffs, ride to hidden coves on a jet ski or take a sunset cruise in the Great Sound. Interested in what lies beneath? Go scuba diving to explore colourful coral reefs and ghostly shipwrecks. Take a whale watching tour in the spring, or fish for wahoo, tuna, rockfish and spiny lobster during season. Or go parasailing for an unforgettable view from above.

COVES & CRESCENTS OF Pink Sand
Bermuda’s dramatic coastline holds hidden coves and wide crescents of beach, all blanketed by that iconic pale-pink sand and brushed by gentle surf. Some beaches are popular and prized, like Horseshoe Bay Beach, which USA Today named one of the Caribbean’s top 10 beaches (even though Bermuda isn’t technically in the Caribbean). Other beaches feel like secluded island hideaways. You’ll find great beaches across the island, but the famous South Shore is a perfect starting point.

Sailing & Boating
LIVE BERMUDA’S SAILING LEGACY
Sailing has been part of Bermuda’s history from the beginning – a crew of shipwreck survivors founded the island, after all. Four centuries later, Bermuda is still in love with the sea and all its charms.

The island is a top sailing destination thanks to its ideal weather, calm and clear waters, and rich maritime heritage. Bermuda hosts a series of prestigious sailing events and has hosted the America’s Cup in recent years. From the oldest regularly scheduled ocean race to the most recently held Bermuda Sail Grand Prix presented by Hamilton Princess, Bermuda brings the sailing community together and elevates the sport. For casual sailors or water lovers, sailing in Bermuda means gliding into sunset, sightseeing along the coast or island hopping on a private excursion. The ultimate adventure awaits for those journeying to Bermuda by private boat or superyacht.

DIVING & Snorkelling
REEFS, SHIPWRECKS & Sea Life
Surrounded by teeming coral reefs, Bermuda has more than its fair share of marine life – and shipwrecks. Known as the shipwreck capital of the world, Bermuda is surrounded by more than 300 sunken vessels, many of which are still revealing their secrets. For scuba diving, you can access deep, calm water quickly and easily, spotting creatures like snapper, angelfish, sea turtles and spotted eagle rays. You can also snorkel right from shore. Either way, you’ll enjoy a colourful show of sea life and great visibility thanks to Bermuda’s clear waters.

FISHING
THE LAND OF Big Game
Anglers will notice that Bermuda is shaped like a fishhook, and it’s safe to consider that a good sign. Bermuda earned its spot in the big-game fisherman’s playbook decades ago by providing quick access to some of the best deep-sea fishing in the Atlantic. In the world of big-game fishing, three species take the cake in terms of size, power and mystique: marlin, tuna and wahoo. In Bermuda, you’ll find all three of these species just offshore.

WATER Sports
SUN, SPEED & Exhilaration
If you prefer your time on the water to be fast-paced and accompanied by a surge of adrenaline, look no further than Bermuda’s full menu of water sports. Try flyboarding, where jets of water shoot you skyward like Iron Man, or kiteboarding, where you can go soaring over the sea. Enjoy a gentler ascent while strapped to a parasail, or paddle a glass-bottomed kayak over swaying sea plants. Even the simple act of cliff jumping delivers big thrills.

WHALE Watching
WHALES in the Wild
In March and April, a parade of humpback whales passes through the waters off Bermuda as they migrate north to their feeding grounds in Canada, Greenland and Iceland. Take a whale watching tour to see these amazing 40-ton creatures in action and in their natural habitat.

Kiteboarding in Bermuda
An unsung paradise for avid kiteboarders, Bermuda has the perfect combination of elements to support wind-centered adventures.
Especially in winter, steady winds and a temperate climate make the island an ideal destination for kiteboarding – as do un-crowded beaches, pristine turquoise waters, a passionate and close-knit windsports community and the surprisingly short travel time from most eastern U.S. cities. No matter where you end up launching on a given day, you’re in for spectacular water views you won’t find anywhere else. Disappear to Bermuda and experience the allure of kiteboarding out here.

From historic oceanfront resorts to intimate cottage colonies tucked into the hillsides, Bermuda offers many idyllic choices for where to stay. Private beaches, rolling golf courses, fine dining and attention-to-detail service are just some of the perks you’ll find. The island’s hotels, resorts, bed-and-breakfasts and historic inns are all dedicated to making your time here positively heavenly. After a few days, you’ll understand why Mark Twain famously said, “You can go to heaven if you want. I’d rather stay in Bermuda.”
