Paget Parish, Hamilton

Paget Parish is one of the nine parishes that make up the territory of Bermuda, located in the central part of the archipelago, in the immediate vicinity of the city of Hamilton, the capital of the island. It is a region of exceptional charm and rich history, making it an attractive place for both residents and the many tourists who visit.

Paget Parish spans an area of approximately 5.6 square kilometers, and its southern coast is washed by the crystal-clear waters of Hamilton Harbour. Characteristic of this region are picturesque beaches, among which the most famous is Elbow Beach – a kilometer-long arc of sand with a delicate, pink hue, whose warm waters of the Atlantic attract lovers of swimming and snorkeling.

The history of Paget Parish dates back to the early colonization of Bermuda by the British. The parish was named after William Paget, the 4th Baron Paget de Beaudesert, one of the founders of the Bermuda Company, which managed the islands in the 17th century. Today in Paget Parish, one can find many monuments and historical sites, such as Camden, the official residence of the Premier of Bermuda, or Paget Marsh, a nature reserve with unique swamp ecosystems.

In addition to natural and historical attractions, Paget Parish also offers a rich cultural experience. It is worth visiting the Bermuda Botanical Gardens, extensive botanical gardens full of exotic plants and flowers, as well as the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, where artworks inspired by the beauty and culture of Bermuda are displayed.
