Islands of Bermuda
Although many people assume that Bermuda is one island, it is actually an archipelago. Six main islands joined by bridges compose most of the territory, of which the aptly named Bermuda is the largest. But there are approximately 138 islands in total, ranging from islets to minute rock formations. Below are some details of the six main islands of Bermuda.
Boaz Island. Located toward the west in Sandys Parish, it formerly housed the Royal Naval Air Station during World War II.
Ireland Island. This is the West End of Bermuda, in Sandys Parish, where Royal Naval Dockyard, its two cruise terminals and Clocktower Mall are located.
Somerset Island. Also toward the west of Bermuda in Sandys Parish, this island is home to Somerset Village and is connected to the main island via the Somerset Bridge — the smallest working drawbridge in the world.
Main Island of Bermuda. About 14 miles long, this is where the majority of the population resides. It was named after the first European to discover the islands, Juan de Bermudez.
St. David’s Island. The easternmost island in the chain, this mostly suburban outpost was historically isolated from the rest of Bermuda. As such, its residents, mainly descendants of American Indian indentured servants and slaves, have a unique culture and a distinct accent.
St. George’s Island. The first island settled by the English, and home to the historic Town of St. George.
