Step back in time at Bermuda’s most formidable coastal fortress. Located on the northern tip of St. George’s, Fort St. Catherine stands as a sentinel over the very beach where the Sea Venture survivors came ashore in 1609. This impressive limestone structure, rebuilt and upgraded over centuries, now serves as a world-class museum. Visitors can explore dark stone tunnels, climb the towering ramparts for a 360-degree view of the Atlantic, and view an incredible collection of antique weaponry. It is a cornerstone of Bermuda’s UNESCO World Heritage status and an essential stop for anyone wanting to understand the island’s military heartbeat.
