The abundant coral reefs encircling Bermuda transform the water into myriad shades of vibrant blue and contribute to the pink sands for which the islands are renowned. Whether you choose the famous Horseshoe Bay on Bermuda’s south side or Elbow Beach closer to town, you can easily spend an entire day lounging on pristine sands and snorkeling in the aquamarine waters. For more cultural pursuits, explore the capital of Hamilton, where you can visit the Bermuda National Gallery, the Gothic-style Bermuda Cathedral and the nearby botanical gardens. The colonial history of the islands comes alive in the Royal Naval Dockyard, a 19th-century British fort, and in the pastel façades of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site that stands as the oldest permanent English settlement in the New World.
