Frequently Asked Questions
Along Front Street, the capital's main street. The gangway leads straight onto the pastel shop arcades: no transfer is needed.
Only smaller cruise ships. The largest vessels go to Kings Wharf at the western tip of the archipelago and reach Hamilton by ferry in about 20 minutes.
The capital is entirely walkable: Front Street, the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity whose tower you can climb, then Fort Hamilton and its Victorian ramparts. The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute is a 15-minute walk east.
No, and the confusion is common. The archipelago sits alone in the North Atlantic, well north of the West Indies. The climate is milder than tropical and the atmosphere decidedly British.

Yes, but not on foot. The south shore beaches, including Horseshoe Bay and its pink sand, are 20 to 30 minutes by bus or taxi. The pink buses circle the island.
