St George, Bermuda

This is a short video of St. George's Bermuda, a Unesco World Heritage Site. For details, go through https://www.bermuda-attractions.com/bermuda2_000028.htm The town of St. George, which is located in St. George's Parish at the eastern end of Bermuda is steeped with history. This is where the first settlement of Bermuda began in 1609 when Sir George Somers and his crewmen arrived after their sailship wrecked on a reef nearby. The Harbor town was the first capital of Bermuda before Hamilton City became the new capital. Other than many historic buildings, churches and museums, the place has many quaint shops, cobblestone narrow streets that still bear the names of the first parishioners, old pastel-coloured houses with slanted white roofs made of limestones, beautiful gardens & parks... it's a different world altogether. There are many historic forts in St. George that were built by the British during the colonial era. Among them, Fort St. Catherine located next to St. Catherine's beach is one of the most popular and showcased. Construction of the Unfinished Church could not be completed due parish infightings and lack of funds. These are all today part of the Unesco World Heritage Site. Out of several lovely beaches, Tobacco Bay Beach is the one which is most visited because it's not only great for snorkelling, it has full amenities including showers and change rooms, a beach bar, beach & snorkel rentals etc. There are many great restaurants as well as bars and boutique shops in St. Georges. Water Street is the main street here and most of the prominent shops and eateries are located along this street. Image Credits: Brendan Purdy, flickr Clyde Adams III, flickr.jpg Jeremy T.
