Bermuda East & West Two-Base Slow Travel
Stay in St. George's first, then Southampton, leaving plenty of time for trails, coastlines, and historic forts.
Spend the first three nights in the World Heritage town of St. George's, and the last three nights on the South Shore, saving yourself the daily commute across the island. This itinerary includes the Railway Trail, coastal walks in South Shore Park, and forts on the west end. The relaxed pace is perfect for repeat visitors or couples who love walking and beaches. You will need to take a taxi to move your luggage on the base-transfer day, and accommodation costs are higher than a single-base stay.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for walking. Keep an eye on hurricane forecasts from August to October.
