Bermuda, also known as the Islands of Bermuda, is really a string of over 100 islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It is the second most remote island in the world. Cape Hatteras, North Carolina is its nearest neighbor at 650 miles away. Bermuda’s area is 21 square miles, but the landscape is full of hills and curves so it seems much bigger than it actually is.

Bermuda is surrounded by underwater coral reefs that protect the island from stormy weather. Because of this shallow platform, the waters of Bermuda are beautifully colored. These reefs have been deadly to ships that have come too close to the island, so there are many shipwrecks surrounding the outer portions of the reefs. Years ago, seamen called Bermuda “the Isle of Devils” because of these dangerous reefs.

The most famous beach in Bermuda is Horseshoe Bay Beach. It is a very large and popular beach, and it is shaped like a horseshoe as its name suggests. The beach is bordered by cliffs and rocks, many of which are often climbed by locals and visitors desiring a stunning view. Horseshoe Bay Beach is also surrounded by large reefs where snorkelers can enjoy beautiful underwater sights and marine life.

For such a small island, Bermuda is packed with attractions, from the Aquarium Museum and Zoo to the Underwater Exploration Institute, and many more. Along with common water sports and land activities, visitors can explore the history of Bermuda through churches, dockyards, lighthouses, caves, and other sites.

Bermuda offers luxury hotels, quaint cottages, pink sandy beaches, and friendly people. It’s the perfect spot for a winter get-away.
