Clocktower Mall

Clocktower Mall Review

A pair of 100-foot towers makes it impossible to miss the Clocktower Mall. (Observant folks will note that one of them features a standard clock, the other a tide indicator.) Inside this 19th-century building, the Royal Navy's administrative offices have been replaced by distinctly Bermudian boutiques—including specialty shops and branches of Front Street favorites. These are particularly popular on Sunday because most stores outside the Dockyard area are closed. If you need pamphlets, bus and ferry tickets, or a phone card, the latter is open daily from 8 to 5.

Visitor Information Centre. Just in front of the mall is the former military parade ground, which now hosts special events (like the Beating of the Retreat Ceremony). The Visitor Information Centre is just across the water in a gazebo-shaped building, near the ferry stop. 441/799-4842.
