This British Overseas Territory enjoys a robust tourist economy thanks to its many natural gifts and legendary place in the lore of both naval and pirate history. Over 70,000 people happily make Bermuda their home, with St. George’s laying claim to the highest population at about 2,000, while the capital of Hamilton is even smaller. A treasure trove of caves (such as the famous Crystal Caves), coves like Horseshoe Bay Beach, and striking seaside strolls are distributed throughout the island. Historical points of interest include The Royal Naval Dockyard, St. Peter’s Church, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Fort St. Catherine, Scaur Hill Fort, Admiralty House Park, and Fort Hamilton. The old streets of St. George’s are also well-known as a unique way to learn the story of Bermuda’s history via the legends behind the street names. 4 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 5 ABOUT US RichUnique with History WELCOME TO A SPECIAL KIND OF PARADISE Lush manicured gardens, intuitive staff and adults-only accommodations that reflect the timeless charm of this 355-year-old property. You can almost feel the history and authentic Bermuda culture. Dating back to the 1660s this property has only changed hands 3 times with the current owners, a prominent Bermudian family – The Trott Family - since 1947. The Trott family and Cambridge Beaches are one; from the founding patriarch, Sir Howard Trott and now many fourth generation Trotts at the helm. Their fundamental guiding principle has never changed, to provide levels of individual caring service, privacy and comfort. Offering an endless number of activities while never impacting on those who seek the ability to do nothing at all, and do it well. Another guiding principle is to share our Bermuda history and culture, and never stray away from it – Cambridge Beaches is your Bermuda home. For nearly 100 years, this resort has built a reputation as Bermuda’s finest vacation destination. Our guest lists are proof of that – countless authors, celebrities, CEOs and world leaders have visited us over the years. But we’ve never forgotten how it all began. The Latin inscription on our coat of arms reads: “The First and The Best.” And it still holds true today. Cambridge Beaches Resort & Spa is the island’s first cottage colony and one of the oldest resorts on Bermuda. In fact, our property was a pioneer in cottage-style accommodations, which have been adopted by other popular resorts. Our property even includes a restored cottage that is 300 years old. Over the years, we’ve named many of our accommodations after cherished return guests and long serving members of staff. This serves not only as a connection to our past, but also as a reminder of the high standards we must continue to uphold. We’re proud of our growing number of repeat guests and we show our appreciation by placing the name of those who have stayed with us at least five times on our repeat guest wall. So far, the record is 150 visits. 6 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 7 PRIVATE OCEAN POOL COTTAGE ACCOMMODATIONS Cottages, SuitesExclusve & Rooms This hidden, European styled cottage getaway offers 86 pastel-pink accommodations, strung like holiday lights long the western tip of Bermuda.

  • Status and Conservation of the Reptiles and Amphibians of the Bermuda Islands
    Status and conservation of the reptiles and amphibians of the Bermuda islands Jamie P. Bacon1,2, Jennifer A. Gray3, Lisa Kitson1 1 Bermuda Zoological Society, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda 2 Corresponding author; email: [email protected] 3 Bermuda Government Department of Conservation Services, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda Abstract. Bermuda’s herpetofauna includes three species of amphibians, one fossil tortoise, two species of freshwater turtles, five species of marine turtles, and four species of lizards. The amphibians Eleutherodactylus johnstonei, E. gossei and Bufo marinus were all introduced in the late 1880s. Amphibian population declines, including the possible extirpation of E. gossei, prompted the initiation in 1995 of an on-going investigation. Research into the high deformity rates in B. marinus has indicated that survival and development of larvae are affected by contaminants in a number of ponds and by the transgenerational transfer of accumulated contaminants. Of the two emydid turtles in Bermuda, Malaclemys terrapin may be native and its population characteristics are being studied; Trachemys scripta elegans is considered invasive and efforts are underway to remove its populations from the wild. The sizeable resident Chelonia mydas population has been the focus of a mark- recapture study since 1968. Results indicate that Bermuda is currently an important developmental habitat for green turtles originating from at least four different nesting beaches in the Caribbean. Immature Eretmochelys imbricata also reside on the Bermuda Platform and genetics studies suggest that multiple Caribbean genotypes are represented in Bermuda’s hawksbill population. Caretta caretta do not appear to be regular inhabitants, but two known loggerhead nesting events have recently occurred (in 1990 and 2005) and post-hatchling loggerheads regularly strand after winter storms.
