Have you ever been to Bermuda? If so, what is the best time of year to go?

Answer 1

I have been to Bermuda twice on cruise ships. My first cruise there was in mid-September and the second was in late May. Both times the weather was great. Bermuda is supposed to have moderate temperatures in the 70 to 80 range all year around, but it is subject to occasional hurricanes like last year. So I would say the best time to go would be October through June.

Bermuda has some of the best beaches anywhere; pink sand beaches that you can easily find a deserted spot on. In my two visit it seemed to me that the majority of the people visiting the island were those on the two or three cruise ships which docked there during my stay. There are a few hotels in the town of Hamilton and about a dozen other properties/beach hotels, but they are nice. There are NO slums and ghettos in Bermuda like you may see on other islands. All of the houses are well maintained and painted in pastel colors. All of the public beaches are great. Be sure to go to Elbow Beach and Long Beach.

There is not a lot to do in Bermuda other than water sports and golf. There are two main towns Hamilton, the largest (where most cruise ships dock for at least a day) and St George (also a port stop) which is like a small town and has just a few shops. The third place ships may dock while there is The Kings Dockyard.. The Dockyard is on the far end of the 22 mile long island and has a small mall with shops and a museum. The Crystal Cave and Fantasy Caves are worth visiting as a tour, or on your own. I also visited one of the lighthouses, for lack of anything else to do. You can visit one of the many forts on the island like Fort St Catherine if you like that type activity.

In the town of Hamilton we took a walking tour which took us to the Cathedral of the Most Holy, a maritime museum and a nice garden/park a few blocks from the port. There is shopping in Hamilton and restaurants, but not much else. The best way to get around in Bermuda is to buy a transportation pass (may be able to get it on ship) which will let you take the buses, and the ferry, all over the island. There is a big bus depot just a couple blocks from where ships dock in the town of Hamilton. You can take the buses to the beach, they are not very far away and easy to get to from the bus stop. You want to go to Elbow Beach and Long Beach, both open to the public. If you want to snorkel, the Tobacco Bay Beach near the town of St George is great, and its walking distance (about 3/4 mile from town).

Answer 2

I have been to bermuda 2 times and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I have gone in June and July, and it was wonderful both times. Its hot, but not excessively humid. Make sure you go to tobacco bay, its a great little beach spot, and explore the island all over, its not a large island so you can take in a little of everything. I think that the most fun we had was to take a taxi around the island, its about $50 a person and the cab driver will take you everywhere and tell you all about the island. Its about a 3 to 4 hr tour. Make sure you go see crystal caves, and fantasy caves. You truely will enjoy it!

Answer 3

Late summer and fall (like now) is great, it cools down a bit and there is still a lot going on,

Answer 4

Try to imagine how the weather is in North Carolina, that is a pretty good indicator.
