Day Three – Make Some Memories
Visit our world famous Horseshoe Bay Beach
Once you step foot on Horseshoe Bay Beach you will realize why it is our most celebrated beach. The long, sweeping crescent of pink sand makes it a popular choice any time of year. The nearby Beach House offers snacks, rentals and changing facilities. Off South Road, Southampton Parish
If you want to experience the most amazing view of the island, visit the Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse. The view is outstanding even before you climb the 180+ steps to the top.
Day Four – Dive On In
Off to the East and the town of St. George
Fort St. Catherine
Although a fortification has stood at St. Catherine's Point for almost as long as there has been a Bermuda, the present fort dates from the 19th century. Inside and out, from the powder magazine to the gun platforms, the story of military history is well told here.
Tobacco Bay Beach
The pale pink stretch of Tobacco Bay Beach earned its name when survivors of the Sea Venture discovered tobacco growing here. Now, the key thing to notice is the unusual limestone formations off the shoreline, a haven for parrotfish and sergeant majors.
Day Five – Discover & Explore
Discover the wonders of the ocean at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute
The Ocean Discovery Centre is a unique and exciting way to uncover the mysteries of the ocean. Your family can take a simulated submersible dive to the ocean floor and visit one of the world's most impressive seashell collections.
