Spanish Point Bermuda

Spanish Point Bermuda

North west of Bermuda's Hamilton city in Pembroke Parish, there is a small area of land reaching out into the mouth of Great Sound water area, called the Spanish Point.

The area has been named by early settlers after the Spanish sailor Ramirez. It's about 2 miles from Hamilton City and requires 3-zone bus ride.

Vehicles reach this area through Black Watch Pass, a cut through the high coral cliff that was opened in 1934.

Over 2.5 million tons of rock were removed to create the first route over the north shore cliffs.

You will see the Stovel Bay. It's like a mini harbor where fishing boats and dinghies are moored. Close to it is a picturesque park called the Spanish Point Park with views of the distant dockyard.

A wreck lies at Spanish point, remains of the Floating Dock (the 2nd largest in the world) that once sat at the Royal Naval Dockyard. It was towed out of the harbor for scrap, but broke loose from its ties and foundered on rocks here, never to be moved again.
