    arved out by 10,000 years of Atlantic waves, Bermuda’s coastline is an array of sweeping crescents of pink-flecked sand, Ctowering palms, and crystal clear ocean-fed lagoons. Beyond the shore, centuries-old pastel-colored cottages dot the lush hillsides, and hibiscus and oleanders drape the byways in bold pink blooms. BAKING Bermudaful Bermuda is a kaleidoscope of color and life, and its BERMUDA MAY BE POSTCARD-PERFECT, BUT THERE’S MORE TO THIS SUBTROPICAL baking culture is no exception.

  • Must Visit Attractions in Hamilton"
    "Must Visit Attractions in Hamilton" Created by: Cityseeker 8 Locations Bookmarked Crystal & Fantasy Caves "Natural Wonders" Two teenagers discovered the Crystal and Fantasy Caves in 1907 after losing a cricket ball down a hole on what was then just a family property. Today, the natural wonder offers an extraordinary example of stalagmite and stalactite formations, attracting hordes of adventurous tourists each year. A pontoon bridge at the site allows hikers and tours to cross the by Captain-tucker subterranean pools of crystal clear waters that sit at the foot of the caves. The paths winding through the caves veer off towards the waterways running through the caverns. A sub-tropical garden containing towering palm trees and a variety of floral species is situated outside the caves. Among the biggest attractions in Bermuda, the Crystal and Fantasy Caves are an excellent way for visitors to get in touch with their outdoorsy side and commune with nature. Those looking to extend their visits will enjoy stopping for a bite at the site's Cafe Ole and perusing the gift shop. +1 441 293 0640 www.caves.bm/ [email protected] 8 Crystal Cave Road, Hamilton Parish Spittal Pond Nature Reserve "Nature's Heaven" The Spittal Pond Nature Reserve, which is Bermuda's largest sanctuary, is a natural haven for nature and wildlife buffs.
