About Hamilton
Pink-sand beaches and clear snorkeling waters define Hamilton, Bermuda’s harbor capital on the Great Sound, with a polished island setting for couples.
Front Street brings pastel buildings, waterfront dining and ferry connections, while Horseshoe Bay Beach and Crystal & Fantasy Caves broaden the day beyond the city. Snorkeling and diving reveal coral reefs around the island, and the Royal Naval Dockyard adds maritime history.
May through October is the peak season, and four to seven days gives time for beaches, food and sightseeing. A relaxed evening suits Rum Swizzle or Bermuda Fish Chowder.
