Quiet but everything is quiet this time of year especially in Dockyard. Visited the Clocktower Mall and they were advertising special shopping events on now and every Sunday with special deals if you spent a certain amount with a lucky raffle winner. Lovely sunny day so enjoyed the outing.

The absolute best part was the Naval Cemetary - such a glimpse into life in the early 1800s....It's a short walk to the Dockyard from there The Dockyard Museum was awesome, even though we couldn't go to the Governors house on the hill (it had been closed due to storm damage). The tickets to get into the museum were reduced but we found it interesting The little shops were interesting, but we weren't there to shop and our hope is that the historical value isn't lost to commercialization. We took the ferry back to Hamilton - a nice change.

Plenty to do and see for all levels of interest , a beach with a bar and food, shoping mall , ice cream , fudge shop and lots of local arts and crafts .Cafes and restaurants .Beautiful hand made clay ware well worth seeking out for stunning pieces of art all made on site by a group of diverse potters

We spent the afternoon at the Royal Naval Dockyard. The fort was rather large and we toured that and then there were the shops to walk thru. The miniature golf that is advertised was amongst a run down area. Not to sure what it will look like come in season but for now, it was really pretty bad. Nice casual afternoon but once was enough.

Take the ferry from Hamilton - takes 20 minutes. Stop for coffee at the Pastry shop. Have a walk round, go to Museum, browse stores then have lunch at Frog and Onion. Bus back takes about 1hour 40 minutes so we took ferry back to Hamilton.

The West End Dockyards is where every ship that sails to Bermuda docks, therefore there's a good chance in high season that 7,000+ people will be there! Having said that, many first time visitors choose to go to Hamilton to shop, etc. for the day, and ferries run every hour or so to Hamilton.The destination is a fun spot for families. There's the Quartermaster's Home which sits on the hill, and has a facinating history of the various groups of people who came to Bermuda starting with the slaves. There's always a bree ze there, especially on a hot day, and view of the harbor is great.For the kids, there's Dolphin Quest, where kids and adults can swim with the dolphins. There's a fee for that, as well as a fee to walk to the Quartermaster's house. If you choose not to visit either facility, you can walk all around the grounds (it's free!) and see the Naval historic building which has models of older ships that sailed to Bermuda, including the Queen of Bermuda. There's the Arts Center, which hosts local artists and is worth seeing. They Glass Factory features hand blown glass pieces, which are wonderful, but very delicate to bring home. If you're going to buy a piece, have them ship it insured! The Clay Works features had made clay Bermuda souvenirs, and range from very inexpensive to hundreds of dollars for intricately hand made name badges for homes (they'll print your name and a picture on a plaque and it takes several weeks to make and ship it).Food wise there's lots of choices. You can grab a snack or have a full meal at a restaurant. The Frog andOnion is one of my favorites, and features nautical flags from around the world. The old prison is right off property, but I don't think you can tour that.Getting there you havea few choices. Taking the bus from Hamilton will take about 45 minutes, but you get to see the East end of Bermuda on your own. Riding a scooter is fun, but you need to make a few 'butt' stops to see the views especially on the South Shore where the beaches are beautiful. Also, the ferry runs from Hamilton and St. George's, but you need to look at the schedule to find the right boat to catch.Besure to bring your camera, as there are many fun sights to see there. The shops in the enclosed building are the same as Hamilton as far as prices are concerned, if you're a shopper. Enjoy the day!!

Overall we were slightly disappointed with this part of our trip. The scenery is beautiful but many of the stores in the clock tower mall are trinkets and not very interesting. If you go the mini out is worth the money! Lots of fun and I have never played on one like this before

Our family enjoyed every part of our Bermuda visit to the Royal Naval Dockyard. The overall experience was truly a blessing. We will revisit but we are social junker. Since we knew we were going to be there for 72 hrs we stay on our family friendly budget with this great deal of $14.99 from WiFi Zone right off the ship.It only works on one device and it only works on the ship deck facing the land. We also got the tokens to ride the bus, the ferries to the Hamilton. The Gibbs Hill Lighthouse was just beautiful at the very top! You are able to stop and rest at the different levels! Horseshoe Bay had pink sand! If you really want to get to eat the BEST local food and get the BEST tour of the Hidden Jewels of St George get with "Cedar Tours" by Penelope Greene. Of course if you enjoyed high end perfume stop and shop at "Lili Bermuda" plus it's part of your tour. She takes you to where they made it. She takes you where locals eat and shop.

Recently visited for a second time. Both visits were off season so activity level was low. However it is a nice area with some interesting history and of course shopping. Besides the expected tourist shops there are some interesting features like glass blowing, rum cakes and a beautiful pottery studio. It is easy to reach by bus. Worth a visit.

For US$8 round-trip, one can board the 20-minute ferry in Hamilton to the Royal Naval Dockyards, which looks quite impressive as one approaches with its high stone walls. The area can be covered in one day, with a stop at the Frog & Onion for lunch. The indoor mall area has some nice ships carrying clothing and souvenirs, and even a Haagen Daz ice cream parlor.
