There is a large selection of handmade glass items and if you want, you can have a customize piece made while you watch. Just make sure you do it early in your visit. You have to come back the next day to pick it up because it takes 12 hours to cool.

I have had many rum cakes and there is no comparison to the others. I was able to purchase four cakes, wish I could have bought more, but they were out of stock. The cakes I was able to try were extremely moist (I hate a dry cake), fruity and just enough rum. I plan to make this my Holiday cake this Christmas. Thank you for offering shipping. I am one happy customer

We were completely blown away by the beautifully colored ceramics that we saw in the Jon Faulkner Gallery. This is a lovely working and retail studio. The gallery offers salt-glazed pottery, hand-made Bermuda Rockpools, ceramic house signs and Raku-fired jewelry. We found especially interesting the handmade house plaques – many made to order that feature family crests, etc. The gallery is located in the former sail repair shop for the British fleet. We were so pleased that we were able to see this shop.

Favorite port hands down. This place has it all right outside your ship. Shopping, food and drink, pharmacy, mini golf, beach, historical treasures, beach and transportation rentals, excursions, ferry service. I feel safe walking around here by myself which is rare at most ports. Since you are docked at Bermuda for two and a half days, it is so handy to just walk on and off the ship.

We recently took a cruise to Bermuda. The Clocktower Mall is an easy, short walk from the King Wharf’s Pier in the Royal Naval Dockyard. We explored many of the mall’s small stores. However, Orchid was by far our favorite! They had a nice selection of unique clothes and shoes… All reasonably priced. My husband really enjoyed speaking with the owner, while I was busy trying on and buying clothes. Although we didn’t get the owner’s name, he was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about Bermuda, cruising and just some interesting, fun facts. We would recommend checking out Orchid for yourself next time you travel to Bermuda!

Just a short taxi ride from the Dockyard, this great little park is the same location as the abandoned 9 Beaches Resort. The waters are calm and shallow enough to walk out to the Surfsup water obstacle course and take advantage of their paddleboards and kayaks. The grounds include many of the abandoned 9 Beaches cabins, a building with a bathroom, a small snack stand, and the aforementioned Surfsup shop. There are several small beaches which are rather flat and good for laying in the sun. There are many rocks along the shoreline and in the water, so it's best to wear water shoes at this beach. Also, once in the water, the bottom is typically not very sandy due to the many water plants that abound on all these beaches. They won't hurt your feet, but they are uncomfortable if you don't like squishy plants between your toes! The highlight of this area were the Sea Turtles! They were numerous in the waters to the right of the park entrance. They are harmless, but will swim close to you if you don't thrash around too much. You may even be lucky enough to take a selfie with one! There is no fee to enter the park, but the Surfsup activities range from $20-$30/ hour, which is very inexpendive by Bermuda standards. Enjoy your trip there. It's definitely worth the time and expense!
