2 Best Sights in Bermuda

Just west of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo, Flatts Bridge spans Flatts Inlet, connecting Hamilton and Smith's Parish. The inlet provides an entry point for much of the seawater that flows into Harrington Sound. While the bridge itself is fairly nondescript, it's what goes on underneath that makes it worth a stop. The strong tidal current that rushes beneath the bridge is pretty spectacular, especially if you catch a Spotted Eagle Ray surfing the current, and Harrington Sound is one of its favorite habitats.

The West End is connected to the rest of Bermuda by Somerset Bridge, and once you have crossed over it, you're no longer, according to local lingo, "up the country." More than marking a boundary, Somerset Bridge is something of an attraction in its own right because it's reputed to be the world's smallest working drawbridge. It opens a mere 18 inches, just wide enough to accommodate the mast of a passing sailboat.
