Bermuda in the Fall: Why October and November Are the Island's Best-Kept Secret

Let's start with the big one. In October, Bermuda averages around 80°F (27°C) in the air and 78°F (26°C) in the water. In November, it's still a comfortable 75°F (24°C), with water around 72°F (22°C).

Translation: beach days, boat days, and golf days are all still on the menu. Pack your summer clothes and add a light jacket for breezy evenings, and you're set.

October is packed with some of Bermuda's most exciting events, and the energy carries right through the season:

• Bermuda Art Month fills October with art and culture across the island.
• Taste of Bermuda (October 8–11) celebrates the island's chefs and food culture.
• The Bermuda Gold Cup (October 13–18) brings world-class match racing to Hamilton Harbour.
• The Butterfield Bermuda Championship (October 22–25) brings the PGA TOUR to Port Royal Golf Course.
• Rockin' Around the City Tree (November 27) kicks off the holiday season in the City of Hamilton.

1. Snorkel crystal-clear bays. Church Bay in Southampton has reefs close to shore, and Tobacco Bay in St. George's offers calm, shallow water.
2. Dive a shipwreck. Bermuda is home to over 300 shipwrecks, making it one of the world's great wreck-diving destinations.
3. Tee off on world-class courses. The island packs seven golf courses into just 21 square miles, and fall's cooler temperatures are perfect for a round.
4. Explore the Railway Trail. About 18 miles of former railbed wind past coastal views, forts, and parks. The West End sections are especially beautiful.
5. Go birdwatching at Spittal Pond. This nature reserve in Smith's Parish is a stop for migrating birds in the fall.
6. Ride horses on the beach. Beach riding returns in November, a magical way to see the coastline.
7. Feast on spiny lobster. Lobster season is in full swing, and it's a must-try for any food lover.
