Bermuda is ideal place for relaxing and unwinding. You can find many best beaches, dive spots, restaurants, sightseeing, and many more. Bermuda is a crowded city, though you will never feel crowded. You can not see any signboards, billboards or neon signs. Buildings are well planned and fit exactly into the site. It is easy to know about the island, because of Bermuda’s small size. The major transportations are bike, ferry, taxi or bus. There is lot to see. To visit the whole city it takes much time, because the velocity is very slow. The allowed maximum speed for motorized vehicles like cars and mopeds are 15 mph in the city of St. George and City of Hamilton, and in the countryside it is 20mph.
It is better to follow the traditional tourist route, if you are a first time visitor to Bermuda. The best towns for walking are St. George, Somerset and City of Hamilton.

The Bermuda Audubon society is a protected bird sanctuary, where you can see many rare wild species. You can also see many curious Bermudian plants, which includes orchids.

Sandys Parish
This is not as much as familiar than other parishes. You can travel through Daniel’s Head Road, which leads you to Cambridge Road, and the paths will lead you to Somerset Long Bay Park. This is an ideal place for swimming. Next to that you can visit the Bermuda Audubon society Nature Reserve, a gift of nature. This place is abandoned on weekdays. You can see the most beautiful white-eyed vireos and the blue birds of the fiddle wood trees, and you can feel that you are very close to the nature.
Warwick Parish
This is one of the most appealing parishes to enjoy with fewer crowds. You can enjoy pink-sand beaches, winding country lanes and seaside parklands. This is still unexplored by some of the local residents. You can see the Warwick pond, a large sanctuary with many rare species of birds. You can visit this sanctuary daily from sunrise to sunset, and it is administrated by Bermuda National trust.
Southampton Parish
In this unsheltered, tourist-trodden parish, you can reach Seymour’s Pond Nature Reserve from the Middle Road just 10km down to the entrance. This reserve is under the control of Bermuda Audubon society. This 2-hectare reserve is preferable spot for romantic couples to share their privacy. Once you cross the pond you can see pepper trees and old cedars. If you want to reach the old Bermuda Railway Trail, you have to travel through Cross Church Road. |
