This fascinating archipelago sits isolated in the Atlantic Ocean some 750 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, but it is often considered a 'Caribbean' destination. Its 150 islands and islets trimmed by pink sand beaches evoke a feeling of tranquility found nowhere else in this world. Still retaining many British customs, Bermuda is steeped in history. See places visited by the first settlers, explore British forts, and wander through outlying villages that date back to the era of slavery.
