Spittal Pond Nature Reserve

About

Explore a unique blend of natural wonders at the Spittal Pond Nature Reserve. At its heart lies the stunning Spittal Pond, the third largest pond in Bermuda, flanked by marshes and woodlands that are home to a plethora of species. A fascinating geological marvel known as the "Checkerboard" welcomes visitors. This rare feature is a tessellated pavement, a result of limestone erosion creating a captivating pattern resembling a checkerboard. The reserve's trails meander through this intriguing terrain, perfect for leisurely strolls and birdwatching. Along the coastal paths, breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean await, complemented by the unusual rocky shore formed by the limestone's natural creativity. For an immersive experience, guided hikes led by the Bermuda National Trust are available, allowing you to uncover the reserve's hidden treasures while learning about its delicate ecosystem. From vibrant Sally Lightfoot Crabs to majestic humpback whales that frequent the area during their migration, the reserve offers an exceptional opportunity to connect with Bermuda's rich natural heritage.
