Harrington Sound Area - Parishes of Hamilton and Smith's Attractions

Although this is largely a residential area there are a number of attractions. The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, Blue Hole Park and the Crystal Caves of Bermuda can be visited along the North Shore Road.

On the south coastline Spittal Pond Nature Reserve and John Smith's Bay offer wildlife, beaches and ocean views.
