Turtle Island, Bermuda

Turtle Island is a small island located in Harrington Sound, a large inland body of water connected to the ocean via a small channel called Flatts Inlet. The island is about 30 metres from the mainland and connected to it by an electric-powered cable car with controls inside the car. There is one house on the island. The cable car installation was made in the 1950s by Bronson Hartley, a well-known naturalist and promoter of helmet diving, who lived on the island for some years with his wife and children. The mainland landing for the cable car is close to Devil's Hole, which is a popular tourist attraction on Bermuda.

Turtle Island is an island of Bermuda.
