these spots for spectacular views: Bermuda Maritime Museum The Keepyard's massive walls and gun emplacements -- built to protect the Royal Naval Dockyard -- now make one of the best places on the Island to see the Great Sound and the West End of the Island.

Gibb's Hill Lighthouse, Southampton. The highest vantage point on the Island -- although not the highest hill -- provides views of the Great and Little Sounds, the South Shore beaches and most of the Island's land mass. The long climb up the lighthouse is well worth the views from the top.

St. David's Lighthouse At the other end of the Island, St. David's Lighthouse provides beautiful views of the Airport, St. George's Harbour and the old town of St. George's.
