A historic British naval base at Bermuda's west end, with a fortress museum, pink sand beaches, and ferries across the island.
The Royal Naval Dockyard sits on Ireland Island at the far western tip of Bermuda, where the British Royal Navy built a large base in the 1800s. Ships dock right at the Dockyard, which now holds museums, shops, and restaurants in the old stone buildings.
From here you can explore the island's history, swim at pink sand beaches, or hop a ferry to Hamilton or St. George's. It suits families, history buffs, and beach lovers alike.
