It occupies most of the short peninsula which juts from the central north coast of Bermuda's main island, and surrounds the city of
Hamilton on three sides (the fourth being taken up by the shore of
Hamilton Harbour). As such, its shape bears some passing resemblance to the county of
Pembrokeshire in
Wales. The peninsula juts into the eastern side of the
Great Sound, the large expanse of water which dominates the geography of western Bermuda. In the east, Pembroke meets
Devonshire Parish. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km2 or 1500 acres). It had a population of 11,160 in 2016.[1]
Natural features in Pembroke include
Spanish Point, and
Point Shares, as well as numerous small islands off Point Shares.
