The island’s endless summer allure comes from key elements like water, land, and culture. While these ingredients swirl together to create the island life Bermudians treasure, each element brings a unique set of offerings. Explore along these lines to experience Bermuda’s endless summer for yourself.
Here are some of the best ways to extend this season of sun-splashed fun, from visiting famous attractions to uncovering hidden gems.
#1: Get Immersed in Our Water Wonderland
Sailing Excursions
Sailing is a quintessentially Bermudian pastime and one of the best ways to get on the water. Channel maritime vibes that go back centuries as you set sail on the Great Sound or on turquoise seas. Whether you hop aboard a catamaran for a sunset sail or charter a private island hopping excursion, your time on the water is bound to be well spent. Beyond the warm breezes and gorgeous water views, sailing and boating offers fresh perspectives of the beautiful Bermuda archipelago.
Water Sports Adventures
The island has thrills for water lovers of all kinds. From paddling to parasailing, Bermuda’s water sports span the fast, slow, high, and low. If you have a need for speed, rent jet skis to explore the scenic coastline. For a more serene experience and more opportunities to observe wildlife, go kayaking or paddleboarding in calm bays and coves. To dial up the adventure, opt for a parasailing ride and enjoy breathtaking bird’s-eye views. Later in the fall season and beyond, windsurfing and kiteboarding come onto the water sports scene.
Snorkelling Trips
Nothing says island immersion like getting in the water. Go snorkelling to explore historic shipwrecks and coral reefs teeming with marine life. You can spot creatures like colourful parrotfish in Bermuda's pristine waters, often very close to shore.
#2: Explore Lush Landscapes & Natural Attractions
Scenic Parks & Trails
Active exploring is a dream come true in Bermuda, especially during the fall months when the island’s natural beauty is at its peak. Along the 18-mile Railway Trail, a former railroad, you can traverse the island from east to west or just enjoy a scenic segment of the trail. Walk, run, or bike this multi-purpose pathway and be rewarded with lush, shady scenery and panoramic ocean views. Find more stunning vistas at parks such as Scaur Hill Fort and Park. Fall is also prime time for bird watching – Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve is a standout spot for viewing birds and other wildlife.
Famous Beaches & Hidden Coves
Just beyond the iconic Horseshoe Bay Beach – known for its sweeping crescent of pale pink sand – you’ll find a collection of less-visited South Shore beaches and hidden coves within walking distance. Check out Warwick Long Bay as well as pristine and picturesque coves like Jobson’s Cove and Astwood Cove. Plus, discover the beaches of the island’s East End, such as Tobacco Bay, and seek out Bermuda’s most secluded beaches. Exploring off the beaten path can lead to the ultimate endless summer experience.
Under-Rated Caves
Bermuda’s Crystal & Fantasy Caves can be overshadowed by other island attractions, but these subterranean wonders should not be missed. The awe-inspiring cave system is filled with otherworldly limestone formations and a crystal-clear underground lake, and it makes for a perfectly refreshing break from the sun.
#3: Connect with Art, Culture & Cuisine
Culinary Tours & Adventures
Taste Bermuda's island-inspired culinary delights on a guided food tour from vendors like Bermuda Food Tours. You’ll learn that the food culture here is a delicious mix of international and local flavours and traditions, and seafood plays a lead role. Spiny lobster season kicks off in September, making fall a favourite for foodies. There’s a full menu of experiences, from a culinary adventure itinerary to foraging tours in the island wilderness. Plus, annual events like the St. George’s Seafood Festival (September 15) and Taste of Bermuda (October 11-13) give you delicious ways to celebrate.
