Bermuda Travel

Bermuda is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, near the western edge of the Sargasso Sea, roughly 2 hours flight from New York, and roughly 590 nautical miles southeast of Martha's Vineyard.  The Islands were discovered in 1503 by a Spanish explorer Juan de Bermudez after which the islands got their name.  Bermuda is the oldest remaining British overseas territory, and Bermuda's first capital, St George's, was settled in 1612 and is the oldest continuously inhabited English town in the Americas!

 Bermuda's culture is a mixture of the various sources of its population, though little trace remains of the several Native American, Spanish-Caribbean, African, Irish or Scots cultures that would have been evident in the 17th century, with Anglo-Saxon culture becoming dominant.

Bermuda's pink sand beaches and clear, azure blue ocean waters are popular with tourists and many of Bermuda's hotels are located along the south shore of the island where some of the bestis found also.
Bermuda boasts a balmy climate that's comfortable all year round and friendly people who readily strike up conversations with perfect strangers, making Bermuda Travel fun.  It has the world's highest acreage of golf courses as a percentage of its total landmass, so golfing holidays to Bermuda are big business. Bermuda cruises are also very popular with short cruises from New York popular with New Yorkers looking for a long weekend away.

 Bermuda also boasts a few of the world's best resorts such as Elbow Beach and The Fairmont Southampton Princess, Elbow owned by the Mandarin Oriental group, both names synonymous with luxury travel.
Bermuda is considered among the friendliest destinations on Earth, and quite rightly too. It isn't free of crime mind you, but if you keep all your valuables out of harms way and use common sense, your Bermuda Vacation should be a very memorable one indeed.
