Bermuda - Off the Beaten Path

Bermuda Cove
Bermuda Cove

While Bermuda is known for its stunning beaches and tourist attractions, there are several off-the-beaten-path experiences you can explore to immerse yourself in the local culture and discover lesser-known gems.

Here are some non-touristy things to do and see in Bermuda:

1. Explore St. George's: Visit the historic town of St. George's, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through its charming streets, admire the colorful colonial buildings, and soak up the rich history of Bermuda. Don't miss the St. Peter's Church and the Bermuda National Trust Museum.

2. Discover Hidden Beaches: While Bermuda is famous for its popular beaches, there are hidden coves and secluded stretches of sand that offer a more private experience. Some lesser-known beaches include Jobson's Cove, Astwood Cove, and Whalebone Bay. These tranquil spots are perfect for relaxation and quiet beach combing.

3. Visit the Crystal Caves: While the Crystal Caves are a popular tourist attraction, they are still worth a visit. These stunning underground caves boast impressive stalactites and crystal-clear pools. Try to visit during off-peak hours to enjoy a more serene and intimate experience.

4. Explore Cooper's Island Nature Reserve: Located in St. David's, Cooper's Island Nature Reserve offers scenic trails, secluded beaches, and diverse wildlife. It's an excellent spot for bird-watching, photography, and enjoying the natural beauty of Bermuda away from the crowds.

5. Go on a Fishing Excursion: Experience the local fishing culture by joining a fishing charter. Bermuda is known for its excellent deep-sea fishing opportunities, and you can try your hand at catching marlin, tuna, or wahoo. It's a unique way to connect with the island's maritime traditions.

6. Attend a Local Event: Check out the local event calendar for festivals, concerts, and cultural events happening during your visit. From art exhibitions to music festivals and culinary events, you can discover the vibrant local scene and engage with the island's creative community.

7. Explore Bermuda's Gardens: Bermuda is home to a variety of stunning gardens that offer tranquility and natural beauty. Visit places like the Bermuda Botanical Gardens, Palm Grove Gardens, or the Bermuda Perfumery's Gardens to admire lush vegetation, fragrant blooms, and scenic landscapes.

8. Discover Bermuda's Shipwrecks: Bermuda's waters are filled with shipwrecks that provide fascinating opportunities for snorkeling or diving. Rent equipment and explore the underwater world to discover these hidden treasures. Some notable wreck sites include the Mary Celestia, the Constellation, and the Montana.

9. Take a Walk along Railway Trail: The Railway Trail is a scenic pathway that spans across Bermuda, following the old railway line. It offers picturesque views, passing through woodlands, coastal areas, and charming neighborhoods. Enjoy a leisurely walk or rent a bike to explore this tranquil trail.

10. Engage with Local Cuisine: Step away from the touristy restaurants and seek out local eateries to indulge in authentic Bermuda cuisine. Try traditional dishes like fish chowder, codfish and potatoes, or a fish sandwich. Interact with locals and get recommendations for hidden culinary gems.

Remember, venturing off the beaten path allows you to discover the authentic side of Bermuda and engage with the local culture, providing a more unique and memorable experience.
