Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Bermuda, Bermuda

December 14, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

Jobson's Cove Beach

Reviewed By Lee929 - Eden, United States

Caught a bus from Hamilton and got off at Warwick Long Bay. After spending some time in the beach there, we decided to walk to Horseshoe Beach. Came upon this gorgeous cove after a short walk. This small cove is unbelievably beautiful and the water is perfect for small children to play in as it’s mainly protected from the larger waves coming in due to the smaller opening to the ocean.

We were walking around the St. George community and found this incredible Hidden Gem...by chance. We had found "The Unfinished Church" and as we walked around taking photos the road to the right of the entrance compelled us to keep walking. A short walk up the hill and down toward the ocean we found this beautiful beach "Tobacco Bay Park". Absolutely wonderful view.

While a bit small, there is still quote a lot to see at this place. The variety of fish species and view of Bermuda's underwater life is amazing. You can also learn a lot about Bermuda's history, both past and present. A good place to walk around leisurely and be entertained. If you are lucky you can catch the sea lions feeding and swimming, which is always fun.

Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute

Experience the wonders of the ocean without getting wet! Interactive exhibits for both young and old including The America's Cup exhibit, our new simulated dive into the Bermuda Triangle, our 'Living with the Ocean' exhibit which examines the human impact on the marine environment, one of the largest private shell collections in the world, the famous Teddy Tucker Shipwreck Gallery and so much more!

Reviewed By msjhaffey - Hook, United Kingdom

This gets a rare 5 stars because, quite simply, it is so fascinating. My wife and I expected an hour would be plenty, but it seized our attention and wouldn't let go. From the cedar root that was more than 7,000 years old through the excellent virtual reality session (at the America's Cup), the explanation of theories about the "Bermuda Triangle" and the treasure room, to name just a few. Information was presented in an interesting fashion and there were plenty of interactive exhibits. One of only two niggles is that s few of the interactive exhibits were not working. In general things were designed to appeal to a wide range of ages and did so very successfully. My second niggle is the prominence on the outside of the building given to bizarre explanations for the "Bermuda Triangle". The exhibit itself was far more down to earth. A huge amount of thought and planning must have gone into this exhibition. It has thoroughly succeeded. Well done! Top tip: I found the virtual reality exhibit breathtaking. I suspect there may be queues for it in the tourist season, so arrive early.

We enjoy visiting caves wherever we travel, but this one was a new experience for us. Crystal Cave has a floating bridge that you walk on to explore the cave. Very cool! We opted to take both tours, and are glad we did. Each has it's own uniqueness and beauty. Just know that there are lots of steps in each.
