Planning a Trip to Captivating Bermuda
Bermuda is a self-governing British overseas territory located in the Atlantic Ocean north of the Caribberan. The island offers a unique blend of colonial history and island heritage, which has given birth to colorful local legends and rich traditions.
As Britain’s oldest colony, Bermuda proudly showcases its English influence through its government, educational institutions, and legal systems. However, it’s the subtle yet significant Afro-influences that truly add a unique flavor to the island. From tantalizing cuisine to lively dance and music, such as calypso and the rhythmic beats of the Gombeys, Bermuda embraces a rich tapestry of cultures.
The island is divided into nine parishes, each with its own distinct allure and tourism attractions. St. George’s Parish encompasses the charming area surrounding the historic town of St. George, where visitors can immerse themselves in the island’s captivating past.
Hamilton Parish features Crystal Caves and the Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo. Smith’s Parish is home to the Spittle Pond Nature Preserve and the Devil’s Hole Aquarium.
Pembroke Parish includes the capital city of Hamilton, while Paget Parish offers numerous resorts, plus Elbow Beach and the Bermuda Botanical Gardens. Vacationers will find golf, horseback riding, and the island’s best cliffs in Warwick Parish.
Bermuda’s best beaches and the historic Gibbs Hill Lighthouse are found in Southampton Parish, while Sandys Parish features the Royal Naval Dockyard fortress and shops, Gilbert Nature Reserve, and several fine beaches.
