What To Do and How to Get AroundSince there are no rental cars in Bermuda, other modes of transportation are readily available. Bermuda has one of the highest concentrations of cars per square mile than many countries, and with narrow, winding roads, a high number of traffic accidents as well. It's recommended that visitors use public transportation or cars for hire to get around.
There are so many things to do in Bermuda it really is hard to narrow your list of activities down. With all the great diving you'll be doing you might not have time to see it all, but here are a few highlights gathered from various websites including Bermuda.com and Bermuda-online.org

Bermuda Rum Cake Company
A not-to-be-missed Bermuda favorite treat is the Bermuda Rum Cake made exclusively in the Royal Naval Dockyard with Goslings Black Seal The Bermuda Rum. The cake is similar to a light pound cake with the warmth of vanilla, lemon, and of course lots of rum.
Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute
Here you can experience interactive exhibits that help explain the wonders of the undersea world. Take a simulated submersible dive down to 12,000 feet below sea level or feel what it's like to be in a shark cage. Visit the Teddy Tucker Shipwreck Gallery and see an incredible shell collection.

Devil's Hole Aquarium

Dockyard Glassworks
Here you'll see artisans create glass works of art in both hot-pulled and blown glass pieces. The furnace heats at over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Watch as artisans create original works such as plates, vases, figurines and paperweights and many small collectibles.
Royal Naval Dockyard The Royal Naval Dockyard was built in the early 1800s by slaves, and British and Irish convicts. The entire area was restored in 1980, and it is now a bustling commercial site, featuring the Maritime Museum, Bermuda Arts Center, Dockyard Craft Market, a Snorkel Park, watersport facility, events and more. The Clocktower Mall houses fine shops and restaurants.
Maritime Museum
The museum offers displays about ocean navigation and exhibits with treasures from the sea, coins and much more. The Commissioner's House is believed to be the first cast-iron building of this size in the world. The building stands on the highest point on Ireland Island offering magnificent views of the azure blue Bermuda waters.
Bermuda's BeachesBermuda is blessed with amazing and plentiful beaches, many of which have a soft pink hue. The reason for the pink tint is due to a tiny creature called Foraminifera, a red one-celled organism that makes its home under the coral reefs. When it dies, its skeleton falls to the sandy ocean floor and mixes with other shell fragments and invertebrate debris. The mixture ends up as pink, fine sand that's washed ashore.
