Breezes
Waterfront upscale alfresco dining at Cambridge Beaches Resort.
Devils Isle Cafe
An excellent farm to table restaurant with an emphasis on the farm to table.
Tamarisk
Highly rated fine dining at Cambridge Beaches Resort. You may need to dress up a bit (i.e .jackets optional when sitting outside). Expect locally sourced ingredients.
Swizzle Inn
Something of a Bermuda institution and a famous and very popular pub, this is the home of the rum swizzle. Decent pub grub available as well.
More
Port O Call
Popular for lunch and dinner in Hamilton – on the “best of” lists by several publications. It’s been a staple in Hamilton for decades. Think steak and seafood and oldschool upscale.
Frog and Onion
Besides its undeniably amazing name , this pub, located at the Royal Navy Dockyards end if the Island, is listed as Bermuda’s only brewpub. Classic English pub grub. The downside is all of the cruise ship passengers.
Yours Truly
A bar that is actually a really fun speakeasey. Very few tourists go to this place. It’s tucked into an alleyway between Front and Reid street. Theres a black door on Chancery lane, you have to ring the adjacent doorbell and wait. Then a server will (hopefully) open the door (providing you picked the right […]
Mickey’s Bistro
This bistro is right on the beach. An alfresco restaurant where you’re right on the pink sand and you dine to the water lapping the beach. It also offers good food. Need we say more?
Pearl
Best sushi in Bermuda – located in downtown Hamilton above the Port O Call restaurant.
Bolero Brasserie
“Neighbored bistro” in Hamilton tucked in an alleyway off of Front Street, this place in on several lists as among the best places to eat in Bermuda.
Sea Breeze
Casual restaurant at Elbow Bay with tapas and sushi.
Tom Moore’s Tavern
Located in a house from 1652 it’s purported to be the oldest restaurant in Bermuda. The “tavern” is a bit of a misnomer as this is an upscale restaurant with quite good food.
Marcus
Upscale dining in Hamilton – often reviewed as best on the Island. Located in the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.
Conservatory Bar & Lounge
This is really a gin bar. Part of the Rosewood Bermuda, this upscale beautiful bar serves up inventive house cocktails.
See
Warwick Long Bay Beach / Horseshoe Bay
On an Island with many beautiful beaches Warwick Long Bay Beach may be the prettiest with its perfectly clear water and pink sands. It’s also one of the few beaches with a lifeguard. The downside is when cruise ships are in you will definitely not have the beach yourself (it is very popular – when […]
St. George
This town was the former capital of Bermuda and was founded in 1612 – just three years after Jamestown (first settlement in US). It is a UNESCO world heritage site for the large number of historic buildings and history. There is a self guided walking tour in the link below and information on guided tours […]
National Museum of Bermuda
This is a museum focused on Bermuda history and culture. We found the exhibit about code breakers stationed here during word war 2 and the secret capture of a German U-boat and enigma coding machine fascinating particularly fascinating.
Church Bay
This is one of the best snorkeling spots in Bermuda. You can rent snorkel gear right here on the beach.
Crystal Caves
Lovely caverns well worth a tour. The attraction includes stalagmites, stalactites, and lovely pools of crystal water.
Elbow Beach
Yes, this is another one of those spectacular pink beaches. Set on the sough shore of Bermuda, the beach has a gentle curve kind of like an elbow.

Walsingham nature resave (“Tom Moore’s jungle”) and Blue Hole
A 12 acre nature reserve with paths winding through the forest and several caves and swimming holes to jump into on your walk.

This cool place has artifacts and interactive exhibits to help promote an understanding of our oceans. There are coral-encrusted coins and other treasures pulled from shipwrecks off of Bermuda (there have been many of them), a simulated dive and shark cage dive, an astounding seashell collection and exhibits revealing the mysterious marine life of the […]

Do
Captain Kirk
If you want to get out on the water this company will take you sailing and snorkeling, shipwreck snorkeling, glass bottom boat and snorkeling, or fishing on one of their 8 boats.
Stay
Cambridge Beaches
In our opinion the best place to stay on the Island based on facilities and location. There are no kids and it’s not cheap, but it’s a gorgeous place and a great location. It’s on the far western end of the Island with several nice beaches on the property and it’s the prettiest corner of […]
