However, you don’t have to come on your bottom to enjoy the waterfront Bermuda resorts and accommodations. Here are some of the best resorts and hotels that Bermuda has to offer:

Pompano Beach Club Situated on the southwest coast of Bermuda, and offering spectacular ocean and shoreline views, the Pompano Beach Club lies adjacent to the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton Parish, Bermuda’s most popular championship golf course.

Cambridge Beaches Surrounded by the sea, the Cambridge Beaches resort offers something for everyone looking for time near the sea. Unlike most of Bermuda’s resorts that are centered on one main beach, Cambridge Beaches offers access to four beaches: Long Bay Beach, the island’s longest at a half-mile; Morning beach, with new pools, waterfalls, and a restaurant; Turtle Cove Beach; and Pegem Beach. Cambridge Beaches is also adjacent to a Nature Reserve, excellent for viewing local wildlife.

Sheltered harbors with strong hold make dropping the hook a favored way to stay when visiting Bermuda by boat; there are few places to get dock space, and many of those are reserved for yacht clubs. While marinas are few and far between in Bermuda, on the chance that the rock and roll of the anchorage is too much for you here are a few places you may be able to tie up to a dock. If you really have your heart set on staying at a slip, make sure you call in advance.
