Beach bums will find what they’re looking for at the Snorkel Park Beach Club & Nightclub, where a stretch of soft sands meets a crystal-clear lagoon. History is abundant here, with The Keep, the largest fort in Bermuda, standing tall at one end of the beach and sunken cannons lingering in the shallow waters. Spend an amazing, relaxing day sunbathing, swimming, and snorkelling in beautiful turquoise waters.

Challenge your loved ones on the links at Bermuda Fun Golf, an 18-hole mini golf course situated on an acre of oceanfront property designed after famous holes in the U.S., Scotland, and Bermuda. Test your skills on Scotland’s Gleneagle’s par-4 hole 13 or the iconic par-3 hole 7 at Pebble Beach, California. Then join your teammates to celebrate with a locally brewed craft beer at the Caddy Shack Bar & Grill.

Another fun interactive experience in Dockyard where you can channel your inner child with a hop, jump, and a bounce is at FryDay’s Trampoline Park, the only venue of its kind in Bermuda, at the historic Sail Loft Building right behind Clocktower Shopping Mall. Get your heart pumping with exercise jump classes, try to top high scores at the arcade, or go for a strike at the piratethemed miniature bowling alley.
