Exploring Tucker's Town Peninsula
Tucker's Town Peninsula is known for being a very exclusive and beautiful area. Many wealthy people from other countries are drawn to this spot because of its lovely weather and stunning surroundings. The properties here are some of the most expensive in the world.
A Private and Special Place
Because it's such a private and special area, access to the Tucker's Town Peninsula is often limited. Generally, only people who live there are allowed onto the peninsula. This helps keep the area peaceful and private for its residents. The peninsula stretches along the southeastern edge of a body of water called Castle Harbor.
Natural Arches Beach
At the southern tip of the peninsula, where it connects to the main island, you'll find Natural Arches Beach. This beach was once Bermuda's most famous, especially known for its amazing natural rock formations and caves. These unique arches were formed over many years by the ocean's waves.
The Impact of Hurricane Fabian
Sadly, many of these beautiful natural arches and caves were largely damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Fabian in 2003. Even after the hurricane, the beach remains a significant landmark, showing the powerful forces of nature.
