Bermuda - Visiting This Amazing Natural Paradise

By Ben Pate


Made up of a total of 138 islands and islets, Bermuda is a British colony fabled for its beauty. As a very popular tropical beach destination, Bermuda is among tourists' favorite spots. Although the beaches are one of the things that attracts visitors from all over,the interesting history and island atmosphere are attractive as well. Before you can travel to Bermuda, you will need a passport book or United States passport card.

One of the best things about traveling to Bermuda is being able to use a passport card in lieu of a passport book. A passport card can be used for all travel to Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Canada. However, passport cards are only acceptable if one travels by boat or car; all air travel requires a passport book. Going online is the best place to get either the book or the card, as well as a plethora of other services, like expedited lost U.S. passport replacements, passports for children, and more.

The Town of St. George is a top spot for those visiting Bermuda. It has earned the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being the oldest continuously inhabited British colony of the New World. Founded in 1612, it is famous for its colonial architecture, weaving streets of cobblestone, cozy parks, and much more. This means that after a long morning at the beach, St. George is a great place to unwind. One spot you don't want to miss is King's Square, which was the first public square in Bermuda, and you'll also want to see some of the important landmarks. These include churches, museums, old houses, and the Town Hall.

A large part of anyone's trip to Bermuda involves the water. Activities like scuba diving and snorkeling, swimming, boating, and fishing are top notch here, and there certainly is no shortage of places to do them. Horseshoe Beach, easily the most popular beach in Bermuda, is one of them. Famous for it's signature powdery pink sand, water that's as clear as glass, beautiful coves and caves, and the paradise atmosphere, it's an absolutely stunning location. For exploring the deeper water, there are plenty of dive and snorkeling companies. They can take you to explore shipwrecks, vibrant coral reefs, and more.

While Bermuda boasts plenty of natural beauty, it also has a very long and interesting history. Be sure to reserve a little time in order to check out the a few of the hundred or so forts that are located in Bermuda. Also reserve a little time to visit some of the museums, especially the Bermuda Aquarium, Natural History Museum, and Zoo, where you'll find more than 200 species of fish, birds, seals, turtles, and the world's first living coral reef exhibit, a 140,000 gallon tank containing replicated coral reef ecology and a thriving community.
