Bermuda Attractions and Things To Do

So you are looking for the best of Bermuda? You have scanned many websites by now, but you still don't seem to find the one that brings out something to your heart's content...

A site that tells you everything from one's own experience so that you don't need to look any further.

Well, my family and I have been obsessed in exploring the island over the past many years. For some strange reasons, the memories and the attractions have kept drawing us back to this island time and again.

So what are those top attractions that keep fascinating us during our Bermuda vacations?

World’s most beautiful pink sandy beaches, breathtakingly beautiful marine life, wonderful scenery, lovely architecture, great hotels & dining, warm & friendly people ... Oops! I was attempting to list them all in just a few lines here :-)

But before I proceed further, I'd like to say one thing though. If you are designing a beautiful over-the-top vacation of a lifetime, do continue to pursue Bermuda. It truly has all the ingredients of a perfect vacation. And do continue to visit this website, as everything of our passion and findings about Bermuda are all here. I update this website regularly with our new findings and experience as we continue to explore the island.

So what are our favorites in Bermuda?

You see, we have been coming here not just to see Bermuda. We felt, we experienced and we fell in love with everything that this island has to offer. And we photographed virtually everything that caught our eyes in this North Atlantic island.

We went to each one of the 34 beautiful beaches in Bermuda, and all of them were so unique in their own ways, many with unbelievable pink sands. We swam and snorkeled for hours in the deep blue water. This island has such a nice temperate climate almost throughout the year.

On many of the sunny mornings, we went out on glass bottom boats watching the spectacular underwater coral reefs. One of our favorite things to do during Bermuda vacations is to take such boat tours and venture out into the ocean with Bermudian guides, snorkel offshore and watch the breathtakingly beautiful corals and marine life.

An uninhabited Bermuda island

Sometimes, we would rent a small charter boat, take a local guide and cruise to discover some tiny islands little deeper into the ocean and enjoy the sheer serenity.

Bermuda is not a single island. It has a string of some 180 small islands around the main one. The total area is under 21 square miles. So you can imagine how tiny many of these islands are. Only 20 of these are actually inhabited and just seven are joined by bridges and causeways to the main island of Bermuda.

We had the rare opportunity of meeting Teddy Tucker during one of our Bermuda vacations. Teddy is a legendary Bermudian diver who collected invaluable treasures from shipwrecks. We listened to him and his wife about how their lives revolved around scuba diving, their underwater experience with shipwrecks, how the movie The Deep was created around Teddy’s life, and many more of those great personal stories.

If you like to dive, I have no doubt in my mind that Bermuda can offer all the elements for the best of diving experience. Breathtaking marine life, lush corals, shipwrecks... they are all here in Bermuda waters.

We have dined in many restaurants of different types in Bermuda. American, Continental, Italian, French, Indian ... there is no end to culinary skills in the island. Bermudian cuisine itself has so much to offer. Bermuda fish chowder, wahoo steaks, pawpaw casserole, Hoppin' John peas & rice are some of our favorites.

One of our favorite things to do in Bermuda is to walk along the beautiful scenic trails and the village paths, and meet with the locals. We have fallen in love with the people and the culture of Bermuda. The caring Bermudians with ever-smiling face, the traditional Bermuda music, Gombey's dance with rhythmic drumming, the very scent of Bermuda's oceanic breeze, have all been great rewards in our lives.

So what are our absolute favorite Bermuda attractions?

Honestly, it’s really difficult to single out any one of them.

However, now that I have decided to pick up the absolute best of Bermuda attractions and things to do, I shall use all our experience and years of findings to answer that question.

I may seem to be little biased, because love and attractions are after all very personal :-)
