About Bermuda

Lovely. Quaint. Charming. Relaxed. Those are some of the words that come to mind when describing Bermuda. Located in the Atlantic Ocean about 650 miles off the coast of North Carolina, Bermuda is a relatively small (just 21 miles long) self-governing British overseas territory with an old-fashioned style. Just imagine an island of pink beaches and warm sunshine where the top speed limit is a leisurely 20 mph and where businessmen wear shorts (with a jacket and tie), and you'll get the essence of Bermuda.

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Bermuda enjoys great weather; in July, expect temperatures from 77 F / 25 C (low) to 87 F / 31 C (high). Although Bermuda has its own currency, U.S. Dollars are accepted everywhere at a fixed 1:1 exchange rate to the the Bermuda Dollar.
