A wonderful way to enjoy Bermuda’s scenic treasures is by taking a boat ride in Ely’s Harbour, situated in Sandy’s Parish next to Somerset Bridge. As you go around the harbour, you will not only see beautiful homes along its edges, you will also find fascinating Palm Island, a tiny islet full of palm trees and other vegetation.
Palm Island is managed by Bermuda National Trust. It covers about 1 acre of land area and is a nature reserve for various species of birds. It’s a habitat for native Bermuda skink, a small lizard which is unique to Bermuda. You can reach the island by boat. Bus routes 7 and 8 serve Somerset Bridge where there is a seasonal boat rental company.
