Fort St. Catherine
A British military fort on the northern headland of St. George's, with tunnels, gun batteries and a display of replica British Crown Jewels, overlooking the beach where the 1609 Sea Venture crew came ashore.
The fort was begun in 1614, and most of what stands today was rebuilt in the 19th century. It features tunnels, a magazine, gun emplacements and a wax-figure display, and it also exhibits replicas of the British Crown Jewels. Below the walls lies St. Catherine's Beach, where the crew of the Sea Venture came ashore in 1609, marking the start of Bermuda's colonial history. Admission is about US$7. It's a 25-minute walk from St. George's, and you can combine it with a visit to Tobacco Bay.
