Bermuda climate

Bermuda’s Atlantic location is a prime spot for beautiful weather, with sunny skies and comfortable temperatures. The winters average a pleasant temperature of 21 degrees and summer temperatures range between 24 and 29 degrees.

Getting around Bermuda

Bermuda is a small island and public transport is limited. There are no hire cars or trains, so bus, ferry, taxi or moped are the only options.

Ferries are certainly the most enjoyable and relaxing way to get around. Enjoy the views, enjoy life on the ocean wave, and, often, get to your destination quicker than you would by bus.

The bus network is good, though the buses aren’t speedy. The cheapest way to use them is to get a bus pass, which you can buy in Hamilton or St George.

Though cars are not available to hire for foreigners, mopeds are. This is a popular way of getting around for many tourists, but do take care on the roads, which have sharp turns and are not always well covered.

In Hamilton and St George you can also take a horse-drawn carriage to your destination.

What is good to know if travelling to Bermuda?

• The main town on Bermuda is Hamilton. Often referred to simply as “town” by the islanders, Hamilton has restaurants, museums and galleries. Most of the buildings along the seafront are painted pink, white or blue. There is plenty to see either for a day trip or a longer stay. The best way to find out about the town is just to take a stroll.
• For the pinkest sand in Bermuda, head to South Shore Park, a mile of public beaches with shining pink sand. Most famous of all the beaches there, and most photographed, is Horseshoe Bay. There is a Beach House with snacks and drinks and you can rent snorkelling equipment. The beach is staffed by lifeguards from May to October. The beach can become very crowded; head for the cove on the western side for a bit more tranquility.
• Bermuda used to have a railway, though none is working today. For 17 years (1931-48) there was a train line that ran between Sandy’s Parish to St George’s Parish. Today, the lines of the old track have been designated a national park and you can walk the trail. Take in the railway museum (entrance is free) along the way.
• The famous Bermuda shorts are taken seriously in the country of their origin. Not just for casual wear, the shorts are also worn by businessmen, along with a blazer, shirt and tie.
• Golf courses abound on the island. There are ten to choose from. The most popular is Port Royal, which has a backdrop of Whale Bay and the blue seas. It is regularly voted one of the top golf courses worldwide, so book in advance if you want to play a round.
• Snorkelling and diving are both popular off the beaches in Bermuda. There are more than 400 wrecks around the island, a huge coral reef and plenty of underwater life to spy on. Look out for turtles. There a total of seven sea turtle species recognised in the world, and Bermuda’s seas hold five of them.
