Surprisingly to many people, Bermuda is not actually in the Caribbean, but is in fact located about 1,000 Kilometres off the Atlantic coast of the United States of America. Bermuda is still ruled from London as a British Colony, and in many ways, the culture and people are very influenced by Britain. The police uniforms, red pillar-boxes, even the love of cricket are all instantly recognisable.
The island is as famous as much for its unusual pink sand beaches as for its unique postcard views, and although it is rather isolated in the middle of the ocean, visitors are always made to feel at home.
The island attracts a lot of American tourists, and as such, the standards of accommodation are excellent, there are more golf courses than you would expect, and for much of the year it is possible to swim and dive in the Atlantic, although in December and January, the water is a little chilly.
Hamilton, the capital has all the feel of an English town in a perpetual summer, where it is possible to spend lazy days in one of the bars that overlook the bay, and watch the sun set over the harbour.
Leave Hamilton and you find that the rest of the island has a great deal to offer as well. The imposing Georgian architecture of The Royal Naval Dockyard which was once the Atlantic Base for the Navy, but is now home to a leisure complex that includes the Bermuda Maritime Museum, a cinema, bar, craft market, and the Bermuda Snorkel Park.
