Bermuda is such an ideal location as a getaway from the winters of the United States, Canada and Europe, it is easy to understand why thousands of travellers come down here for a break at that time of year. And given the beauty of the place, the beaches and the weather, it's even easier to understand why people visit during the rest of the year.
Known as the Islands of Bermuda, it is in reality a string of over 100 islands. In reality, Bermuda is the second most remote island in the world - located in the North Atlantic Ocean, 32 20 N, 64 45 W, with the nearest point of land being to the west, at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, 650 miles (1046 km) away. New York City is 750 miles (1215 km) to the northwest and London is 3,460 miles (5568 km) to the northeast. Many people make the mistake of thinking Bermuda's somewhere in the Caribbean. It's not. Bermuda is actually 950 miles (1529 km) to the north of Nassau, Bahamas.
Traveling to Bermuda, the island oasis is an entirely pleasant, and very brief, undertaking. Our central Atlantic location puts us in close proximity to major cities - in most cases flights are less than two hours - with a variety of travel choices.
The Town of St. George, a World Heritage site, is the oldest English-speaking colonial town still in existence. Rainfall generates the island's only supply of fresh water
