Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve Bermuda Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve is located at the South-Eastern end of Bermuda, in St. Davids. This 12 acres of unspoiled and beautiful nature reserve is now part of Bermuda’s National Parks. Until 1995, the area was restricted and occupied by the US Military. On its east is the Cooper’s Island Road, and on its west is the beautiful Castle Harbor. Clearwater Beach and Turtle Beach are two beautiful public beaches located next to the reserve. These shallow water beaches are popular picnic areas for families and can get quite crowded over the weekend. But, once you are inside the reserve, it’s quiet and serene. There are nature trails through a vast stretch of woodland area. Although much of the reserve is filled with introduced plantations like Brazil pepper, casuarinas and allspice, there are patches where you can find heavy concentration of Bermuda cedars, palmettos and olivewoods. How to get there… There is no public transportation that will take you right to Coopers Island. Take bus #6 from town of St. George for St. David’s Lighthouse. Then walk along the Ruth’s Bay Road towards west. Continue on Orange Hole Road along west. You will see Cooper’s Island Road.

Five Forts Golf Club, A Reimagined Golfers Paradise Overlooking Bermuda’s Shoreline 34 Coot Pond Road, St. Catherine, St George’s Bermuda’s tranquil shoreline scatters gracefully across the backdrop of the newest golf club on island. Formally St. George’s Golf Course, Five Forts Golf Club of The St. Regis Bermuda Resort has been reimagined and designed. Inspired by five surrounding forts the 18-hole course represents a different theme at each hole with a focus on Hole 1 Fort Victoria, Hole 4 Fort George, Hole 15 The Unfinished Church, Hole 17 Fort Albert, and Hole 18 Fort St. Catherine. Hole 12 is the shortest hole of the course but the 180-degree oceanside views make up for that. It’s the spot to relax and know that you’ve reached a little further than halfway of this epic golf journey.
