Revel in our great outdoors

The oldest evidence of humans on our island are the initials “RP” and the date “1543” carved into what we call Spanish Rock – even though historians believe a Portuguese sailor made the carving. You can find a bronze cast of the original rock in Spittal Pond Nature Reserve.

Bermuda Biological Station for Research

This world-renowned non-profit group seeks to improve society’s understanding of marine ecosystems, and our island has proven to be an ideal location for their study. Every Wednesday at 10am, staff members offer a free tour of their unique facilities. A guide will lead you through the laboratories and grounds, share their history and offer updates on any on-going projects.

Spittal Pond Nature Reserve

One of our most spectacular open spaces, this 64-acre reserve is part of a necklace of wetlands along the South Shore. It provides a diversity of habitats and an amazing variety of birds, especially during the migration seasons.

While home to many native and endemic plants, Spittal Pond boasts many unique features such as:

  • Spanish Rock, the oldest evidence of humans on the island
  • The checkerboard, a geological formation of marine limestone with a distinct pattern of cracks
