Your Bermuda Vacation Guide

Bermuda offers a colorful getaway: pink sand beaches, brilliant blue waters and long green fairways. While it's only about 650 miles off North Carolina, Bermuda still retains many British traditions, like afternoon tea, which add a sophisticated vibe to island life. Here are some vacation tips to help you enjoy your Bermuda vacation.

With seven championship golf courses and one golf academy spread across 21 square miles, Bermuda is proud to have more golf courses per square mile than any other place in the world. Port Royal Golf Course will host the PGA Grand Slam of Golf October 18-19, 2011. Every course on the island offers a stunning array of challenges and spectacular ocean vistas. Better still, they are open for play year-round.

Bermuda is famous for its pink sand beaches. Ninety-five percent of the island's beaches are freely accessible to the public. The most famous is Horseshoe Bay in Southampton. Families, retirees and honeymooners relax on chaise lounges and snorkel in the crystalline cove. Other beautiful public beaches include Shelly Bay (great for kids) and Elbow Beach (popular with windsurfers and sunbathers alike). If you want something a bit more engaging than a lazy beach day, check out Snorkel Park in the Royal Naval Dockyard. Bermuda's newest big beachfront attraction, it features snorkeling, sailboats, kayaks, a giant water slide and all kinds of other aquatic entertainment.
