St. George’s, Bermuda Coordinates
Bermuda has long been a destination for sailors, ever since the archipelago was first spotted by Spanish explorer Juan de Bermúdez in 1505. And today, there is no better experience for a sailor than to contact Bermuda Radio and sail past the fort and into St. George’s Harbor. But whether you arrive by private yacht, cruise ship, or airplane, Bermuda will quickly capture your heart.
One of the quickest ways that Bermuda will charm you is through your taste buds. Fish cakes, Hoppin’ John, fish chowder, lobster, rockfish, and so much more make every meal on the rock a special experience. And Bermuda’s own Gosling’s Black Seal Rum serves as the foundation for the famous Rum Swizzle, the Dark and Stormy, and other alluring concoctions, all of which are the perfect way to toast your arrival.
With all the great food and drink in Bermuda, it is a good thing that there are also so many ways to burn off calories. The island is world renown for kiteboarding, deep sea fishing, and, with some 300 wrecks, diving and snorkeling. But there are also dozens of beaches to explore, from hidden pocket ones you can have all to yourself to wide crescent beaches that will leave you in awe. And don’t miss the world famous pink sand beaches of Bermuda, either. The rest of the natural environment of Bermuda is stunning as well with diverse ecosystems, including marshes, forests, gardens, caves and grottoes.
The people and culture of the island are all the match for the natural beauty of Bermuda. British charm and African heritage undergird the culture, but Bermuda also boasts Caribbean, Portuguese, and a host of other influences given its location as a crossroads of the Atlantic. The art, music, and dancing on the island are all stunning, and the people are as friendly as can be.
During his time on the island, Mark Twain remarked, “You can go to heaven if you want to. I’d rather stay in Bermuda.” And anybody who has ever enjoyed the charms of the island will surely understand his choice. Show that Bermuda has captured your heart and ensure you can always find your way back to that rock in the Atlantic with this t-shirt.
