A historic tower with the best views on the island
There’s no better view of an island than from a lighthouse. On Bermuda the best views are from the balcony of Gibbs Lighthouse. Sitting atop a hill in Southampton Parish, the light provides sweeping 360-degree seascape views that include the south shore and the Royal Naval Dockyard to the west.
Taking in the view will require a climb up 185 steps, but there are eight floors in the light tower that double as rest stations, each filled with small exhibits that show the history of the tower and Bermuda. Dating from 1846, the 117-foot tower is the oldest surviving cast iron lighthouse in the world. After the climb down, have lunch at The Dining Room restaurant located in the former signaling station of the British Army.
