Bermuda Vacation Packages

Bermuda’s appeal lies in its special blend of cultures, a Bermuda-shorts-and-knee-socks- meets-reggae-and-calypso mélange of colonial history and African heritage. When you start thinking about traveling to Bermuda, keep in mind that the weather is relatively cool in winter and spring. As a result, Bermuda’s peak travel season (when prices and demand are highest) is May through August, the opposite of the Caribbean (which Bermuda is not technically part of).

Renting a moped to tour the island on your Bermuda vacation is an absolute must, as is strolling through the historic towns of St. George (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Hamilton. You’ll also want to check out the Bermuda Maritime Museum at the Royal Naval Dockyard on Ireland Island for a glimpse into Bermuda’s maritime past. Sailing, golfing and tennis are other popular activities.

One of the most popular and photographed of Bermuda’s pink-sand beaches is Horseshoe Bay Beach, which is bordered by rocky areas great for snorkeling. A lifeguard is on duty here from May to September, making this a good choice for families. Tiny Jobson’s Bay Beach is surrounded by jagged, picturesque rocks. Warwick Long Bay boasts Bermuda’s longest stretch of sand, and at West Whale Bay Beach you can see humpback whales in April as they migrate north. If you’re in search of seclusion, head to Astwood Cove.

As a general rule, nightlife is not big on Bermuda. Since rental cars are not allowed on the island, many who travel to Bermuda prefer to hang out in their hotel lounges and bars rather than travel via scooter (or take an expensive taxi) at night. However, Hamilton has a number of fun bars, including Hubie’s, which showcases local musical talent. The island also is known for its collection of authentic English pubs, such as the Frog and Onion, Henry VIII, and the George and Dragon.
