6 Great Experiences While in Bermuda

Horseshoe Bay Beach

The blushing sand at Horseshoe Bay Beach is gorgeous and the views are stunning. It is touted to be the best beach in Bermuda. The ocean waters can be rough with a strong undertow but the beach is manned by lifeguards. Horseshoe Bay Beach features a nice cafe so you’ll have access to plenty of fuel while swimming or strolling along the waterline.

All public beaches in Bermuda are open from sunrise to sunset; access to Horseshoe Bay Beach is free.

Unfinished Church

In 1870 settlers in St. George started building a grand church, but low funds, creative differences and a damaging storm led to an abandonment of the project. Today, the structure has been fortified to be safe for visitors.  It remains unfinished, but offers picturesque views of Gothic architecture and a serene atmosphere.

The Unfinished Church is located on Government Hill Road in St. George and there is no entrance fee.

Historic St. George

St. George was one of the first English towns established in North America and still holds firm to its colonial roots. In St. George, you’ll have the opportunity to see the Town Hall and Old Rectory that the settlers used hundreds of years ago. St. George is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It offers visitors an opportunity to stroll through the streets and be taken back to days long ago.

There is no fee to visit historic St. George, but there are entrance fees for some of the sites.
