Bermuda
Coastal BeachesBermuda is a British Overseas Territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean, known for its pink-sand beaches, subtropical climate, and unique blend of British and American culture. It consists of approximately 138 islands, with the seven largest islands connected by bridges and forming the shape of a fishhook. The capital city is Hamilton. Bermuda is renowned for its maritime history and was once a significant waypoint for ships sailing between Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas. The island is also known for the Bermuda Triangle, a region of the Atlantic where ships and aircraft are said to have mysteriously disappeared. Bermuda's economy is largely based on international business, particularly insurance and reinsurance, and tourism. The island offers a range of activities for visitors, including golf, water sports, and exploring its colonial heritage, exemplified by the historic town of St. George, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island's subtropical climate supports a variety of flora and fauna, and its coral reefs are popular with divers. Bermuda's culture reflects a mix of African, Portuguese, Native American, English, and other influences, which can be seen in its music, dance, and cuisine. Despite its small size, Bermuda has a well-developed infrastructure and a high standard of living, but it also has one of the highest costs of living in the world.
