Bermuda’s East End was the site of the country’s first shipwreck, its first settlement, and its first capital. The region has stunning beaches, gorgeous vistas, and adorable cobblestones streets with candy-colored houses. According to photographer Meredith Andrews, who has always lived in the central parishes of the island, it is old world and new Bermuda all rolled into one.
There is a lot to do in the East End, she says, yet it’s all close together. A large part of the town of St. George’s is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and there are historical buildings seemingly around every corner. Where St. George’s is quaint, St. David’s is quiet; there, the pace of life seems to slow down, according to Andrews.
Like all places, it’s the people who help define the East End. From volunteers at Carter House, one of Bermuda’s oldest homes, to the owner of the design store MERCH, to a tour guide at Fort Saint Catherine, the East End is full of passionate residents and business owners. With this in mind, Andrews, who regularly visits the East End, spent a day capturing street portraits and sumptuous views for Herein.
