A Secluded Bermuda Beach
Often misidentified as
part of the Caribbean, Bermuda is actually comprised of
a group if islands located in the western Atlantic Ocean
about 600 nautical miles off the coast of North
Carolina. The 21 square miles of land which we identify
as Bermuda encompasses eight of the largest islands in
this group, all connected by causeway and bridges to
form a semi-circular sliver of land no more than 1 mile
long at its widest point. Bermuda is one of the
wealthiest countries in the world and is known as a
highly successful off-shore financial center. Although
self-governing, as an overseas British territory it is
steeped in English tradition and afternoon tea, Boxing
Day and the Queen’s Birthday are major events. The
clean, narrow winding streets are lined with tidy pastel
colored cottages, stately old-world mansions and
charming shops, interspersed with blossoming
bougainvillea, hibiscus and oleander. Add glorious soft
pink-sand beaches, incredibly clear turquoise waters,
coral reefs, emerald green golf courses and more forts
per square mile than any other place on earth and
Bermuda is justifiably a magnificent cruise destination.
Bermuda boasts a very mild climate year round with
temperatures ranging from 75° to 90° F during the peak
cruising season of May through October. English is the
official language and the Bermudian Dollar is the
official currency, however, there is no need to exchange
money as the Bermudian Dollar is equivalent to the US
dollar and both currencies are equally accepted at all
establishments.
