Discovering Bermuda’s Hidden Treasures

The day began with a gentle breeze and the promise of adventure as I was picked up from the historic Dockyard site. The air-conditioned vehicle was a welcome comfort, and I settled in, eager to explore the gems of Sandys Parish. Our first stop was the old British Fort Scaur, a majestic structure that towers over the Great Sound waters. The fort’s history whispered through its walls, and the panoramic views were nothing short of breathtaking. As a former surfer, I’ve seen my fair share of ocean vistas, but the sight from Fort Scaur was something special.

Next, we made our way to the Somerset Bridge, the smallest drawbridge in the world. Here, we paused to feed the curious, colorful fish that danced beneath the turquoise waters. It was a simple yet enchanting experience, reminding me of the vibrant marine life I’ve encountered in my surfing adventures. The bridge itself was a marvel, a testament to the island’s unique charm.

A Lighthouse and Pink Sands

Our journey continued to the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, a beacon that captures some of the most stunning views on the island. Climbing to the top, I was rewarded with a sweeping panorama that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ocean, with its ever-changing hues, seemed to call out to me, a siren song that only a surfer could truly appreciate.

From there, we ventured to Warwick Long Bay Beach, where the pink sand massaged my feet with every step. The beach was a priceless gem, its beauty unparalleled. I took a moment to soak it all in, the gentle waves lapping at the shore, the sun casting a golden glow over the landscape. It was a scene straight out of a dream, a reminder of why I chose this island life.

Relaxation and Reflection at the Private Beach Resort

The final stop of the day was a private beach resort, a haven of relaxation and indulgence. Here, I had the chance to swim in an underground cave, a surreal experience that felt like discovering a hidden world. The resort offered a variety of amenities, from a pool to an outdoor hot tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

However, the food left much to be desired. Despite the resort’s luxurious offerings, the small buffet was a letdown, lacking the flavor and variety one would expect. It was a minor blemish on an otherwise perfect day, but it didn’t overshadow the incredible experiences I had.

As I relaxed in the hot tub, reflecting on the day’s adventures, I felt a deep sense of gratitude. Bermuda had revealed its treasures to me, each stop a new discovery, each moment a memory to cherish. For those seeking a blend of history, natural beauty, and relaxation, the Bermuda Scenic Tour is a journey worth taking.
