Where to Toss the Bags

Lodging offers no end to choices, from private guesthouses to large luxury hotels with swimming pools and beach access. Among the hotels which cater to anglers are Cambridge Beaches and the Pompano Beach Club, both in Somerset Parish at Bermuda’s west end – and you can wade fish for bonefish right off their beaches.

The Fairmont Hamilton Princess Hotel in Hamilton, one of the island’s oldest and best, is a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Mark Twain stayed here in the late 19th century as have many notables through the years. The basement even became a center for British and American intelligence units during World War II. The dock basin allows for even large vessels. Any of the following resorts won’t disappoint:
