Bermuda's charming capital, with pastel buildings, pink sand beaches, crystal caves and a rich British naval history.
Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda, a British island territory in the Atlantic Ocean, far north of the Caribbean. Smaller ships can dock right on Front Street in Hamilton, while larger ships dock at the Royal Naval Dockyard on the western tip, connected to Hamilton by ferry and bus.
Bermuda feels polished and very British, with tidy pastel cottages, clear water and famously pink sand. It suits couples, history fans and beach lovers, and I love how easy it is to get around by ferry.

Luke's Port Pick
Grand Turk has it all - stunning ship views, a pool, great snorkeling, and crystal-clear water! This port will always be my favorite!
My favorites: relax on the pink sand of Horseshoe Bay Beach; explore the underground pools of the Crystal Caves; walk the historic town of St. George's, a UNESCO World Heritage Site; visit the Royal Naval Dockyard and the National Museum of Bermuda; climb Gibbs Hill Lighthouse for views across the island.
Bermudian dollar, equal in value to the US dollar; US dollars are accepted everywhere.
Downtown Hamilton is walkable from Front Street, and the public ferries, buses and taxis connect the rest of the island.
