Regional points of interest range from open spaces and birdwatching to maritime history, art, and quiet local areas. This can help you consider which experiences you want to shape your stay. The places and activities below are located in Sandys Parish.

Open Landscapes and Birdwatching

Hog Bay Park is in Sandys Parish and covers more than 30 acres of open space with varied terrain. Its size and changing landscape give the area its distinctive character. If you want to focus your travel planning on nature and open spaces, you can consider the park as a regional highlight.

Birdwatching is also possible at Hog Bay Park, where 120 species have been spotted. This makes landscapes and wildlife observation two distinct ways to experience this natural setting. If you are interested in birds, the park offers a specific reason to explore the region’s natural environment, alongside its open spaces.

Views and Maritime History

Fort Scaur offers a different landscape experience. Visitors who walk or ride along the Railway Trail to the fort must climb the hill to enjoy views of the Great Sound and Ely’s Harbour. The climb is part of the approach, so bear it in mind when planning your visit. Views of these two named bodies of water are a distinct highlight among the region’s offerings.

At the Royal Naval Dockyard, centuries of maritime history meet modern attractions, art, and local crafts in Sandys Parish. The Dockyard combines historical themes with contemporary cultural offerings. If you travel to the Royal Naval Dockyard by sea, you will arrive at King’s Wharf or Heritage Wharf. Arrival procedures can vary, so check the details for your specific arrival before you travel.

Culture and Quiet Walks

The National Museum of Bermuda covers topics including shipwreck artifacts and Bermuda’s role in world history. If a particular exhibition is important to your plans, check what is currently on display before your visit. The Bermuda Arts Centre at Dockyard offers live glassblowing demonstrations; check in advance whether demonstrations will be taking place during your visit.

The Royal Naval Cemetery is on the north side of Lagoon Park in Sandys Parish. It is a suitable place for a quiet walk and is about a five-minute drive south of the Royal Naval Dockyard. The approximate drive time gives you a specific point of reference for the Dockyard, while the suggested peaceful walk offers a different experience from its attractions and art offerings.

Local Areas and Open Spaces

The Somerset Village area in Sandys Parish has local shops and quiet lanes.
