Bermuda Although technically not part of the Caribbean, Bermuda
has all the sun, sand, and surf of its southern neighbors. Located 650
miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, Bermuda ranks as
one of the most elegant of the island destinations. It combines a slightly
formal British atmosphere and its country's position as one of the world's
richest countries with the island's semi-tropical climate to create a
setting where palm-lined roads connect Easter egg-colored houses. With weather that's often described as only two seasons
-- spring (69 degree average in January) and summer (85 degree average
in July)-- Bermuda is a golfer's delight, boasting more golf courses per
square mile that any other country in the world. Note that proper golf attire is required, and that usually
includes Bermuda length shorts and shirts with collars and sleeves. Reseeding
of the greens occurs throughout Bermuda for two to four weeks between
late September and early November, and some courses use temporary greens
during that time. Although many consider Bermuda to be one island, the country is actually formed by about 180 small islands. Seven of these islands are connected by causeways and bridges, and this forms the landmass referred to as "Bermuda." The broken shoreline means a plenitude of beaches, most found on the south side from Southampton to Tucker's Town. Most hotels are not located directly on the beach, but one is never far away: Bermuda is, at its thickest point, only one and a half miles wide. Fast Facts:
