Scooters
Well, if you are comfortable with a scooter or a moped, this will give you all the freedom and flexibility in this island. You won't have to wait for the crowded buses. Since you can’t rent a car here, scooter rentals largely fulfill that gap. However, Bermuda roads are quite narrow and winding, and at times can be quite steep. So you need to be careful.
If you are not used to British way of left hand drive (i.e. driving along the left side of the road), then better watch out. The right side is the wrong side. The left side is the right side here. The usual speed limit is 35km (i.e. 23 miles) per hour, but locals tend to ignore this. You will also find that hooting horns is quite common in Bermuda which may sometime distract you. Consider all this while renting a scooter in Bermuda. If you are not comfortable, then don't rent one.

Horseshoe Bay Cove

Tobacco Bay
Tobacco Bay beach is located in Bermuda's St. George's parish and is one of the most popular beaches in the island. Locals say that the beach was so named because tobacco was found growing here many years back. This beach is one of our all time favorites for snorkeling.
