We are heading to Bermuda the first week of June with our kids ages 9 and 6. Anyone have good resturant suggestions? We are doing the breakfast meal plan but lunch and dinner are up for grabs.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Where are you staying? What sights do you plan to see? The Frog and Onion at the Dockyards is pretty kid friendly, lunch at the little tea house at the lighthouse (sorry, can't remember the names of either, but will look them up if you are considering a lighthouse visit) also kid friendly. Lobster Pot in Hamilton definitely kid friendly - lots of silly lobster and fishy stuff around on the walls, so kind of fun. One of the restaurants at Elbow Beach (down on the beach - Lido may be the name?) would probably qualify as kid friendly - very noisy and active. Have a lovely trip!

thank you so much for your suggestions; we are staying at the Wyndham. We are so excited! We have reservations at Dolphinquest, we plan to go see some of the forts, explore some of the other beaches; hopefully do some snorkling. Do you have any suggestions for good beaches and snorkling sites?

Suggest you purchase a bus/ferry pass to travel around the Island. The kids will love the ferry ride from Hamilton to the Dockyard and return. They would also enjoy the glass bottom boat ride.

In Hamilton there is a place called Robin Hood Pub and Restaurant. It is a few blocks away from main st. (probably 10 minute walk), but the kids can get pizza, etc. there. Reasonable prices - more of a local pub. The only "fast food" in Bermuda is KFC which is located in Hamilton.

If you are in Hamilton for the day shopping, check out the Grocery Store just up from the ferry terminal. You can get some great sandwiches and enjoy them as a picnic right there on the waterfront.

Of course, the kids will really enjoy Horseshoe Bay. Make sure you take your snorkel gear along. This beach has changing house, canteen (burgers, etc.) and you can rent chairs/umbrellas. If the cruise ships are in, it will be busy. There used to be a small snorkel park at the Dockyard.

Check out the Swizzle Inn with the kids. Good food and across the street you can visit the Crystal Caves - they will love it! Make sure you don't mind climbing stairs.

The kids might enjoy a jet ski tour or a guided tour of Hamilton Harbour via kayak. Make sure you take a tour of the Island via boat - there are several charters available and most have kiosks around the ferry terminal.

I'm not a big snorkeler, but I think almost every cab driver we've had in Bermuda has told us that Church Bay is the place to go for snorkeling. I also recall a number of options for organized snorkling tours - don't know if you need to book in advance or not. Bermuda has an excellent web-site (www.bermudatourism.com) that has info about what is going on on the island, hotels, restaurants, activities, etc. They should have info on snorkeling tours.

The beach at Pompano Beach is supposedly good, although I don't know what the resort policy is on non-guests going there - maybe go for lunch and hit the beach? You can walk out quite far at Pompano - the water is waist deep maybe 100 yards out or so.

Horseshoe Beach is one of my favorites. We were there one year on Good Friday and what an event! Everyone goes out to fly kites and eat fish cakes and hot cross buns. We were adopted by a local family to share in the tradition and it was great fun, hence my softspot for the beach (never mind Bermuda itself). Elbow Beach is lovely, too. I think Frommer's had a good guide on beaches that are calmer and better for swimming, but I don't remember any of them off-hand.

thank you both for some wonderful suggestions! My husband and I love Bermuda as much as you do; we were there last 13 years ago on our honeymoon and are so excited to share the beautiful island with our children.
