Climb the 185 steps to the top of Gibb's Hill Lighthouse for panoramic views of Bermuda. The 117-foot lighthouse, built in 1846, is one of only two cast-iron lighthouses in the world and the oldest of its kind.

The lighthouse, which overlooks the South Shore, provides views of the beaches, the City of Hamilton, and the Royal Naval Dockyard. In the spring, you may even see migrating humpback whales.

In 1987, a radar antenna for marine shipping was installed atop the lighthouse, supported by a steel space frame that was bolted down at the original locations. Despite the oscillation of the tower during Hurricane Fabian in September 2003, the radar and supporting frame were unharmed. Two gallons of mercury slid out of the lens support trough as a result of this movement, knocking the light out of commission. In 2004, steel bearings were used to replace the mercury in the 1904 lens.

The Lighthouse Tea Room, a restaurant converted from the lighthouse keeper's former living quarters, is located at the base of the tower and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily.

The Bermuda Railway Trail, which runs the entire length of the island, is a 29-kilometer-long path that winds through beaches, dunes, and cliffs as part of the Bermuda Rail Trail National Park. The "Rattle and Shake," Bermuda's only train, ran from 1931 to 1948, leaving its tracks behind. It ran east from St. George's Station to west from Somerset Station. This abandoned trail became a popular route for walkers and bikers, and it was designated a national park in 1986.

The trail, which spans nine sections of the island and ranges in length from one mile to 3.75 miles, provides an off-the-beaten-path adventure. Visitors can begin at either end of the trail or begin at any point, pausing to visit one of Bermuda's beaches for a refreshing dip in the ocean, sunbathing, or fishing. The beautiful Lover's Lake Nature Reserve, located within Ferry Point Park at the eastern end of Bermuda in St. George's Parish, can be found along the path.
