How to Find Your Favorite Places

So what kind of a Bermuda map are you looking for?
Well, if you have gone through this web site, you may have already realized that this 21 square mile island has amazingly large number of sightseeing places, beaches, hotels, restaurants, shipwrecks, coral reefs and the list goes on.
So where do you start? You need a few good Bermuda maps. Let me explain why I say that you need a FEW Bermuda maps and not A Bermuda map.

When we came to Bermuda on a vacation for the first time, our first target was to get hold of a good Bermuda map. We kept struggling for a long time. Eventually we had to settle with some Bermuda Maps, but none were really to our satisfaction.
Later we thought, why not we customize our own Bermuda Map, in fact make a few of them. And each Bermuda map should focus on a separate subject to make things simple, like a Bermuda Hotel Map should only show locations of all our favorite hotels in Bermuda, or a Bermuda beach map showing the special sandy beaches, or a Bermuda Tourist Map showing all the great sightseeing attractions in the island and so on.
We wanted to keep these Bermuda Maps very simple instead of cluttering every thing together. That way a Bermuda map would be easy to understand. So here is what we have:
Bermuda Parishes Map: Bermuda is divided into nine parishes or counties. Capital of Bermuda is the City of Hamilton. There is a parish in Bermuda also named as Hamilton. We were initially confused if both were the same. Answer is NO. The capital of Bermuda, that is the city of Hamilton is not even in the Hamilton parish. It's in Pembroke parish.
So if you are new to Bermuda, this is the first Bermuda map you should look at. It shows in a simple way what and where the parishes of Bermuda are. When you see this map, click on the parish names to get all the details of the parish including a blown up detailed map of the parish itself.
Bermuda Beach Map: We have been die hard fans of the Bermuda beaches. This actually prompted us to create a separate Bermuda beach map showing the location of the beaches. The idea was to have a quick location reference for our very favorite Bermuda beaches. You will not find in this map the roads to reach the beaches. For that, you will need a far more detail Bermuda map. Don't worry, I have a good solution for that as well. Please hold on till I finish with the simple ones.
By the way, if you don't find a particular beach in the Bermuda Beach Map, that's probably because it does not happen to be in our favorite list of beaches. But you should be able to find almost all the beaches in a detail Bermuda map that I have given below.

Nowadays, when we come to Bermuda, the first thing my son will do is to sell us the idea of a particular beach that he wants to stay close to. Once done, he would quickly get us to refer to the Bermuda Beach Map and the Bermuda Hotel Map to then sell us the idea of which hotel to stay at, so that we can be comfortably close to the beach of choice. Well, if you are planning to do something similar as my son does, these two maps together can be quite handy to plan your stay.
Bermuda Dining Map: Here is a dining map of Bermuda showing the location of all the top restaurants in the island.
Bermuda Hamilton City Map: You can see all the main roads of Hamilton city including the front street. This should give you a fairly good idea of Hamilton city's layout.
Hamilton Dining Map: This dining map shows the location of all the top restaurants in Bermuda's Hamilton City, the port capital.
Hamilton Shopping Map: Hamilton City, the capital of Bermuda is where most of the best stores are located. This map will help you find the top stores in Hamilton city.
Map of St George Bermuda: This is a neat map of the town of St. George Bermuda. This will give you the road directions to all the important places in St George.
Bermuda Triangle Map: Here you will see maps of Bermuda Triangle where the ships and planes mysteriously disappear. Bermuda itself is a corner of the triangle. The area is also known as the Devil's Triangle because of the superstition that Devil is at play in this part of the sea.
Bermuda shipwreck map: In my section on Bermuda Shipwrecks, I have talked at length about all the famous shipwrecks around Bermuda and what you can expect to see if you are planning for a scuba dive in Bermuda waters. This Bermuda map will give you a reasonably good idea about where these shipwrecks are in the Atlantic with respect to the island:
Bermuda Tourist Map: A vacation in Bermuda is never complete unless you have seen some of the great sightseeing places. We have gone to all the tourist places in Bermuda during our many vacations. In my section on Favorite Bermuda Sightseeing, I have described our most favorite sightseeing places in the island. The above link of Bermuda Tourist Map should give you a good idea of where these great places are and the main roads leading to them.

I strongly recommend that you should take a print of this Bermuda map if you are visiting the island. For that, I have also created a PDF version so that you can get a full page print of the Bermuda Tourist Map. Get the PDF version of the Bermuda tourist map here: Bermuda Tourist Map (PDF). You will however require an acrobat reader installed in your PC. If you have a printer connected, just print it without doing anything. You will have a nice tourist map of Bermuda sightseeing places.
Detailed Bermuda Map (PDF File): If you are still unable to find the stuff that you are looking for, or you want far more details along with roads and directions, here is your final solution. This Bermuda map is probably the most detail of all the maps that I have been able to lay my hands on. This is courtesy department of Bermuda tourism.
Honestly, it scares me at times with the level of details. This Bermuda map also has separate insets showing details of City of Hamilton and St. George town. This is again a PDF version and 2.9MB in size. So this file is a bit heavy, but is a great asset.
