We explored the city of St. George, Bermuda. It is about 45-60 minutes via bus to get there from Hamilton.
The vibe of the city is a little more chill in comparison with Hamilton. It was a great place for people of all ages. The food was really good at Wahoo’s which was recommended to us by our AirBnb host. Then we went to Tobacco Bay beach which was much smaller than Horse Shoe Beach, but was still a great time. After that, we checked out Fort St. Catherines which is this museum that was previously an artillery defense fort overseeing the protection of Bermuda. We were not able to do the tour because it was past 6pm when we finally made it there, but the cost of the tour is $7 for adults and they last about 20 minutes.
