Bermuda's Absolute Essentials

Bermuda's landscape is defined by its pink sand beaches, such as Horseshoe Bay and the sheltered Jobson’s Cove. The UNESCO-listed town of St. George preserves 17th-century British colonial architecture and coastal fortifications like Fort St. Catherine. Natural highlights include the subterranean Crystal Caves and the marine life at Tobacco Bay. The island’s maritime history is visible at St. David’s Lighthouse and the HMS Vixen shipwreck, while the capital, Hamilton, houses the neo-Gothic Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity.
