Spittal Pond
Spittal Pond is owned by the Bermuda National Trust and the Bermuda
Government’s Department of Agriculture. One of Bermuda’s
most spectacular open spaces, this 64-acre reserve is part of a
necklace of wetlands along the South Shore, providing a diversity
of habitats and an amazing variety of birds, especially during the
migration seasons. It is Bermuda’s largest bird sanctuary.
While home to many native and endemic plants, Spittal Pond has unique
features such as Spanish Rock, the oldest evidence of humans on
the island, and the checkerboard, a geological formation of marine
limestone with a distinct pattern of cracks.
