Fort St Catherine, Maritime Museum, Gibbs Light House for the historical value; virtually any of the beaches are beautiful; shopping in Hamilton, take the ferry to St George's/Tuckertown; go to the botanical gardens.

eat at Tom Moore's Tavern; also try the elbow beach dining room and the show at the Southampton Princess. Absolutely, you must rent scooters!!!

Crystal caves! If you're at the far west end, check out the cottages on stilts at Daniel's Head Village (temporarily closed - but really cool to see). Portofino's restaurant in Hamilton for Italian, Swizzle Inn - up the hill from Grotto Bay Resort. Grotto Bay Resort has underground grottos which are something to see too. Horseshoe Bay beach is a must see.

the lighthouse for sure, golf at the Southampton Princess is pretty nice, St. George's,the botanical gardens, the caves, shopping at Trimingham's. All the restaurants are good. Scooters are fun but a tad dangerous.

The beaches on South Road! They are wonderful to view from the &quot;viewing&quot; areas overlooking Warwick Long Bay, Chaplins Bay, and Horseshoe Beach. The water sparkles, the &quot;boiler rocks&quot; splash, and shine, the sand shows hints of pink, you get to view the trails and little coves. Now spend a day at the beach! Explore St. George, shop Front Steet in Hamilton, look at all the beautiful houses (nothing comes close on any caribbean island), the winding lanes, the Hibiscus hedges. Take the ferry to Dockyards, and go to the Maritime Museum. Have a rum swizzle at the Swizzle Inn. Now for restaurants etc. If you want an English fare-The Hog Penny, local seafood try the Lobster Pot (bar area best). Elegant meal, wonderful Bermudian atmopshere <BR>the dining room at Waterloo House in Hamilton. Also love the causal outdoor area in Frescos on Chauncery Lane! Bermuda is a wonderful island!
