Ninety seconds on Castle Islands Fortifications
You see these forts from the water. They stand on islands in a nature reserve with no path, so take a charter boat from Grotto Bay or look across from the steps of Carter House.
Pick out King's Castle first, the ruin on the seaward end of Castle Island. Its Captain's House of 1621 is the oldest stone home in Bermuda.
Two more works stand on the same island, the Landward Fort and Devonshire Redoubt. Southampton Fort sits on Brangman's Island across the channel.
The Castaway trip passes the wreck of the Sea Fern near Nonsuch Island and stops at the sandbar off Castle Island, with snorkel gear and paddle boards on board. If the boat does not land, snorkel the sandbar and see the walls from the water.
