Hamilton presents some excellent golfing and shopping opportunities and is easy to explore on foot.

We came accross QE park quite by accident. We enjoyed a delightful stroll, admired the wild chickens, and rested for a while on a bench. We wished we had brought a picnic with us.

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.

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!

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.

This glass beach was formed by trash from Dockyard that was thrown out to sea many years ago. Unfortunately their is also some recent sharp glass there. If you have water shoes it is a lovely place for a swim as it is very calm. The glass is for all to see so there are signs at top telling you not to take any.
