FIND YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE
Nestled in the North Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda stands as a pristine jewel of natural beauty and cultural richness just 650 miles east of North Carolina. This archipelago of 181 islands and islets, connected by bridges and causeways, captivates visitors with its pink-sand beaches, azure waters, and pastel-colored buildings with white limestone roofs. Beyond its stunning coastlines, Bermuda boasts a fascinating colonial history, evident in its UNESCO World Heritage site of St. George's and the historic Royal Naval Dockyard.
Despite common misconceptions, Bermuda is not in the Caribbean but enjoys a mild subtropical climate year-round thanks to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream. The island nation seamlessly blends British formality with relaxed island sensibilities, creating a unique cultural experience. Visitors can explore underwater shipwrecks, world-class golf courses, and a sophisticated culinary scene, all while experiencing the legendary hospitality of Bermudians. Whether you're seeking adventure on turquoise waters, historical exploration, or simply tranquil relaxation, Bermuda offers an accessible yet exotic escape unlike any other Atlantic destination.

St. George's Parish, Bermuda
- UNESCO World Heritage site
- St. Peter's Church (oldest Anglican church in the Western Hemisphere)
- Replica of Deliverance ship
Founded in 1612, St. George's represents the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the New World and stands as a remarkably preserved example of early colonial urban planning. Wander narrow lanes with names like Featherbed Alley and Needle & Thread Alley to discover centuries-old architecture, including the State House (1620) and Tucker House Museum. The town square features historical reenactments during summer months, including the amusing traditional ducking stool demonstration. This living museum offers an authentic glimpse into Bermuda's earliest days as a British colony.
St. David's Island, Bermuda
- Wildlife observation platform
- Pristine beaches
- Salt marsh and woodland trails
Once restricted as a U.S. military installation and NASA tracking station, this 12-acre nature sanctuary at Bermuda's eastern edge has been reclaimed as an ecological treasure. The reserve encompasses diverse habitats from salt marshes to subtropical forest, providing critical nesting grounds for the endemic Bermuda petrel (cahow) and longtail tropicbirds. Climb the wildlife observation tower for panoramic views of Castle Harbour and spot migrating humpback whales between March and April. With multiple secluded beaches and well-maintained trails, Cooper's Island offers a tranquil alternative to Bermuda's more frequented natural attractions.
Guidelines for Cultural Awareness
- Bermudians greet everyone they pass, so don't be surprised by friendly 'good mornings' from strangers, and reciprocating is appreciated as a sign of respect.
- Dress code is more formal than other island destinations – many restaurants and clubs require collared shirts and closed-toe shoes for men, while beachwear is strictly for beaches only, not shops or town.
- Bermuda has a strong Christian heritage, so modest dress is expected when visiting churches, and Sunday activities may be limited as many businesses observe the Sabbath.
- Tipping is customary at 15-20% for restaurants and taxis, but check your bill as a 17% service charge is often automatically included at restaurants.
- Water conservation is taken seriously on the island as Bermuda relies on rainfall collection; visitors are encouraged to take short showers and reuse towels when possible.
Suggestions for Evening Activities
- Experience a traditional Swizzle Inn pub crawl starting at the original Bailey's Bay location, home of the famous Rum Swizzle cocktail, then heading to Hamilton for lively Front Street bars.
- Attend the Gombey dance performances at Harbour Nights in Hamilton (Wednesday evenings, summer season) featuring colorful costumes and rhythmic drumming that blend African, Caribbean and British military traditions.
- Join a Haunted History Tour through St. George's, where costumed guides share tales of pirates, witchcraft trials, and colonial hauntings by lantern light.
- Enjoy live jazz and harbor views at the sophisticated Conservatory Bar at Rosewood Bermuda, featuring craft cocktails and occasional performances by local music legend Shine Hayward.
- Experience the immersive theatrical dinner show 'Haunted History: Ghosts of the Triangle' at Fort Hamilton, combining Bermudian cuisine with dramatic storytelling about the island's connection to the Bermuda Triangle.
Customer Feedback
Olivia Chen
Crystal Caves exceeded all expectations! The underground lake was so clear it created perfect reflections of the stalactites, creating an optical illusion that made the cave seem twice as large. Our guide Mark was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology and history. Pro tip: bring a light jacket as it's cooler underground.

Rented a scooter to explore the Railway Trail - fantastic experience but be prepared for narrow roads and remember to drive on the left! The trail offered stunning coastal views, especially around Baileys Bay. Only giving 4 stars because some sections were poorly marked, but the friendly locals helped us find our way.

The snorkeling at Tobacco Bay was absolutely magical! Vibrant parrotfish, angelfish, and even a sea turtle swam right up to us. The natural rock formations create a protected cove perfect for beginners. The beach bar serves excellent Dark 'n Stormy cocktails - the perfect way to end a day in paradise.

St. George's historic district has fascinating architecture and museums, but many shops closed early and some restaurants were unexpectedly shut mid-week. The replica of the Deliverance ship was impressive, though smaller than anticipated. Worth visiting but check opening hours in advance to avoid disappointment.

Horseshoe Bay at sunset is pure magic! We visited in October when tourist crowds had thinned, and it felt like we had a private beach. The pink sand is subtle but genuine, and the water clarity is unmatched. Don't miss exploring the hidden coves at the eastern end - we found our own private swimming spot between the rock formations.
