Ninety seconds on Harrington Sound
Paddling here is the easiest start on Bermuda: small islands to circle, an easy crossing for a beginner, and a rock shore with an underwater notch to look into from the kayak.
By kayak, head out to the islands on the western side, of which Trunk Island is the largest, then along the rock shore. Just below the tide line, the Harrington Sound Notch cuts about 2 metres into the rock and shelters sponges, sea squirts and small fish.
Look into the notch from the kayak and do not dive it: the edges are jagged and the fire sponges sting. From Flatts you can also paddle out through the inlet to Gibbet's Island.
