This is an unspoiled area with a great variety of birds and tropical vegetation. The walk to the rocks overlooking the ocean is rough but well worth the views at the end of the hike. We were able to sit on the rocks to have a picnic. The bus from Hamilton dropped us off close to the entrance. More

I like hiking, but the entrance in to Spittal Pond takes you past cow pastures, up and down muddy poorly kept paths quite a ways in before you get to 'the good stuff': the rocks and sighting of the ocean, anyplace, even, scenic enough to set down a blanket and have a picnic. The way 'out' is unclear (signs don't... More

Bermuda has 65,000 people on a 20-mile long island, so the small nature parks are oases for locals. Spittal Pond is the nicest and largest of island's parks that people can reach easily (there are some uninhabited islands that are better-preserved and home to rare species, but you need a boat to get to those). It has some nice, short... More

It was very rainy and windy the day we hiked back and forth here. We ran into many different specie of birds that I don't know enough about to tell you what they were. A few roosters and a cat as well, and even a portugese man of war far offshore (did a bird drop him there?). The ponds created... More

Visited one afternoon with a friend. We actually never made it down to the pond. There's an area of rocky beach that's a great place to watch the waves. Once you get down the main path, it's very rocky and uneven, so good shoes are a plus. It's a nice, peaceful place to appreciate nature at it's best. More

The damage done by the hurricanes in 2003 (and 2006) is healed. The knocked over trees are cleaned up. Now, it's just a pretty walk through the woods that leads to excellent views of the rocky shore. I bring my children to look at the cows and chickens and play with the crabs and sea puddles. More

Visited in July 2005 with my wife. This is not a large park but well worth a walk around if you are sight seeing in the area. Its free. We did it on the bus with out any problem, we had the place to ourselves. The area is still pretty banged up from the huricane in 2003 but is well... More

This is a great reserve, but don't come here if you are looking for big wildlife. There were a few herons, native birds, and turtles I saw here, but nothing exciting. But I have to mention the historical part of this park. It has an interesting carving, dated in the 1500s, carved by one of the first settlers. It is... More
