Bermuda with Kids
Since the days of Mark Twain, Bermuda has attracted travelers
seeking a luxurious retreat with warm summers and temperate winters, perfect
for a round of golf or a game of tennis. Located far off the North Carolina
coast, the island has long been a favorite getaway with honeymooners,
golf buffs (boasting more golf courses per square mile that any other
country in the world), and travelers looking for a safe, upscale island
destination free from beach vendors. Today, the island is fast becoming a favorite with families
as well. Parents and kids alike will find a full range of activities both
on and off the beach. 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 family’s delight. 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.
