Get Away to the Island of Bermuda

A 21-square mile island set apart out in the Atlantic, the island of Bermuda is just a two-hour flight from most eastern U.S. cities. The island is ringed with pink sand beaches leading into clear turquoise waters, perfect for snorkeling, swimming and cliff diving. Bermuda's sub-tropical climate lends itself to amazing year-round experiences.

If you’re planning a visit to Bermuda, you’re in for an unforgettable experience on an island of friendly locals and incredible natural beauty. Bermuda’s beaches are legendary, but beyond the pink sand you’ll find an island packed with a rare mix of experiences. Go sailing or shipwreck diving, explore ancient caves and subterranean lakes, uncover British colonial heritage in historic towns, celebrate with Gombey dancers, feast on one of the world's best fish sandwiches and wash it all down with one of the island's signature rum drinks.

Things to Do in Bermuda

From stand-up paddleboards to jet skis, kayaks and sailboats, there are many ways to enjoy the clear waters of Bermuda. If scuba diving is on your wish list, this is a great location for wreck dives, including the favorite Cristobal Colon, a luxury liner that crashed into a reef and sank in 1936. In fact, there are hundreds of wrecks here due to the island’s treacherous reefs, which were unmarked in the early days of navigation.	The famous pink beaches of Bermuda lead into clear waters perfect for snorkeling and diving to see the abundance of undersea life. A must-see in Bermuda is the Crystal Caves, one of the largest and most dramatic cave systems on the island. For a jungle experience with grottoes and caves, hike through the Walsingham Nature Reserve in Hamilton Parish. You can even find a pristine watering hole for a refreshing swim.	The South Shore beaches are connected by a walking trail said to be the most beautiful beach walk in the world. If you prefer, you can bike the 18-mile Railway Trail, taking you through scenic landscapes. Bermuda's golf courses offer challenging holes with amazing ocean views.
