Hamilton

Getting ashore

Ships under about 700 feet dock at Heritage Wharf, in downtown Hamilton. Larger ships use King’s Wharf in the dockyard.

Bermuda’s roads are narrow and the island drives on the left. Scooters are common, so take care. Buses and ferries are the easiest way around.

Front Street is the waterfront shopping street, with shops, restaurants and the harbour views.

Par-la-Ville is the Victorian park and the seat of the government, with the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity nearby.

Horseshoe Bay is the best-known beach, reached by bus from Hamilton. The coastline has pink sands and coves.

Bermudian food includes fish chowder, codfish and potatoes, and the Dark ’n’ Stormy cocktail. Restaurants on Front Street are the easiest choice.

The currency is the Bermudian dollar, at parity with the US dollar, and US dollars are accepted. Cards are accepted in most places.

The wharf and Front Street are flat and step-accessible. Horseshoe Bay has steps and sand. Ask your operator about accessible transport.
