Outdoor Romantic ActivitiesYOU’LL BOTH LOVE

There are myriad reasons that couples visit Bermuda, and then return year after year. The island spans a mere 21 square miles in length, and each mile lets you explore the outdoor romance you crave. Whether you’re traversing it via Twizy–a two-seater electric car–or chartering a private catamaran with a local chef, one visit to Bermuda will soon have you both planning the next.

Explore All 21 Miles of Bermuda via Twizy

A simple equation: Twin + Easy = Twizy! These electric cars are an exhilarating way to see all of Bermuda’s charms. They’re conveniently rented at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, and feature cockpit-style seats for an atypical (and environmentally friendly) driving experience. Don’t forget: In Bermuda, the left side of the road is the right side to drive on. For her part, Wendy loved the independence of driving the Twizy. “Touring the island by Twizy is the perfect mode of transportation, because you get to experience Bermuda on your terms. For example, we grabbed fish sandwiches at Art Mel’s Spicy Dicy and parked the Twizy on the edge of a cliff by the beach for lunch. The fish sandwiches were delicious (I still dream about them to this day!), the view was incredible, and the Twizy made it all possible.”

Wander the Unfinished Church

It’s impossible not to be drawn in by the impressively weathered, gothic Unfinished Church in the Town of St. George, the oldest town in the Americas. The original structure was partially destroyed by a hurricane, but the ruins that were left behind are ideal for a wedding venue–guests will love wandering around the indoor-outdoor space in their finery. Wendy concurs: “It’s breathtaking and perfect for photos!”

Pose Under A Moongate

As you explore Bermuda, you’ll undoubtedly note the horseshoe-shaped limestone passageways that decorate and enhance the landscape. These national symbols of the island were originally inspired by a Chinese garden and bring good luck, which is why newlyweds often kiss or pose beneath them. Join their ranks, and find public moongates at the Hamilton Princess, Somers Garden, Bermuda Botanical Gardens, Tobacco Bay Beach, Shelly Bay Beach, and other locations.

Relax Where It All Began at St. Catherine Beach

This is the beach where the founder of Bermuda, Sir George Somers, came ashore after being shipwrecked in 1609. These days, this small beach in the northern part of the Town of St. George is as picturesque as it is quiet. When you’ve had enough sun, stop by the nearby Fort St. Catherine, where you can view antique weapons and replicas of the British crown jewels.

Elbow Beach

If you’re spending time in the City of Hamilton, Elbow Beach is just a few minutes away, and it’s the ideal place to relax after a day of shopping in the nearby stores. On the South Shore, you’ll find public access to the famed beach, with plenty of space for you both to stretch out on the pink sand. For refreshments, head to nearby Mickey’s Beach Bistro, where you won’t have to sacrifice any idyllic views. It’s located right on the beach, allowing you to sink your toes into the sand as you enjoy cocktails, fresh salads, and locally caught seafood.

Charter a Private Sunset Cruise Dinner

True Bermuda’s private sailing catamaran tours are totally customizable, so opt for having Captain Jake and his crew catch some fish right before your charter. Then a top-notch local chef, such as Danai Hongwaniskul, executive chef de cuisine at Marcus Bermuda, will whip up your personal three-course meal.

Wake Up for the Sunrise

No matter which beach you select, watching the dawn give way to daylight in Bermuda is a breathtaking experience. Watch the horizon slowly fill and burst with sunshine on your last morning on the island for a memory you’ll take with you on your short plane ride home.
