Tucker's Town

When choosing a stay in Tucker's Town, you can consider transportation and interests separately. Bus Route 1 passes through the area on two routes; the history of the Mid Ocean Club offers a different focus. A nature reserve is also nearby. Other nature and coastal topics are part of the broader destination of Saint George's.

Getting there on Bus Route 1

Bus Route 1 runs between Hamilton and Grotto Bay via Tucker's Town. Another service on the same route runs between Hamilton and St. George's, also via Tucker's Town. For planning purposes, it is therefore important to know which of the two destination pairs you have in mind. Check current service information before travelling, as bus routes can change.

Golf history in Tucker's Town

The Mid Ocean Club is located in Tucker's Town. It opened in 1924, by which time the golf course and clubhouse had been completed. The club grounds include an 18-hole golf course. Heads of state have visited the course, as has the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. The opening year and its history as a host offer different insights: one point of reference is the state of the course and clubhouse at the time, while the other is the visitors and tournament mentioned above.

Nature nearby

The Castle Harbour Islands Nature Reserve encompasses all the islands and islets at the mouth of Castle Harbour between Tucker's Town and Cooper's Island. Public access to the islands is strictly controlled. If you plan to include the islands in your itinerary, take this access restriction into account.

Nature and coast in the broader destination of Saint George's

The broader destination of Saint George's offers other nature and coastal attractions. Lover's Lake is a 0.38-hectare saltwater pond on the northeastern shore of St. George's Island in Saint George's Parish. It is both a Bermuda Government nature reserve and a Ramsar site. This body of water thus has a specific size and two protected-area designations.

Nonsuch Island is part of the Castle Harbour Islands Nature Reserve in Saint George's Parish. It is Bermuda's most important site for the protection of rare and endangered species and habitats. For more than 50 years, a project has been underway there to ecologically restore an entire ecosystem, including its associated plant and animal communities in their habitats. This brings together the protection of species and habitats with a long-term restoration project encompassing a whole ecosystem.

In the broader destination of Saint George's, Tobacco Bay is a place for swimming and snorkelling. Unusual limestone formations off the coast of Tobacco Bay Beach provide a habitat for marine life such as parrotfish and sergeant majors. These coastal features add a marine perspective to the different conservation topics surrounding Lover's Lake and Nonsuch Island.
