Paget Island, Bermuda

Paget Island, Bermuda

Paget Island is part of the chain which makes up Bermuda. It is located in St. George's Parish, in the northeast of the territory.

The 36 acre (14.5 hectare) island is located at the northern entrance to St. George's Harbor, east of the town of St. George's and just to the north of the slightly larger Smith's Island. Its most prominent feature is Fort Cunningham, built in the 1820s and of historical importance, but now in a state of disrepair.
