Clocktower Mall
Old storehouse is newly stocked with Bermudian gifts and souvenirs.
The two 100-foot towers rising from the old administration building of the British Royal Navy at Dockyard are visible from miles away. The North Tower clock keeps time, while the South Tower “one-handed” clock marks the tides. However, as you drive into Dockyard or approach on a ferry or ship, both of these massive structures with walls 3 feet thick herald a shopping experience that you won’t forget.
Opened in 1990, the Clocktower Mall is one of the Bermuda’s most innovative examples of preserving a historical structure while putting it to modern use.
Inside, you’ll find more than 24 stores carrying merchandise for all tastes and interests. Island crafts and art, fine jewellery, upscale clothing, sumptuous wares for the home, fragrances and cosmetics, and that little something you didn’t know you wanted until you saw it — it’s all there. You’ll even stumble into the very tip of the notorious Bermuda Triangle, but don’t worry: the only risk here is getting lost amidst all the fantastic boutiques and shops. Just follow the cobblestones and browse away!
The Clocktower Mall is open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from April 1 to December 31, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. from January 1 to March 31.
