Bermuda is a little gem! The water is crystal blue, the sand has a soft pink hue and the temperatures are mild. I don’t know how it took me 20 something years to make it to this little piece of paradise. Tourism only accounts for about 25% of the country’s business, so it’s decently untouched and still feels so real- which I love! If you’re looking for a sunny beach getaway, Bermuda definitely needs to be on your list- especially if you’re flying in from NYC. It’s such a fast flight! We’ve been a couple times now, so here are my tips on what to do in Bermuda!

What to do

August 8, 2019 at 6:49 amBermuda is so gorgeous — that water is unreal. We are spoiled to have pretty white sand and light turquoise water in Florida, but I’ve never been to a pink sand beach. I would definitely like to check that out! I’ve also never gotten to swim with dolphins and it looks so fun! Your photos make me want to book a trip right now!

August 9, 2019 at 1:14 amBermuda is so gorgeous! I love the blue sea and sandy white beaches. I would love to visit the Pink Sand Beach. Is the sand really pink there? Or is it just a name?

For me, Bermuda always conjures up images of disappearing ships and planes. All because of an overdose of the ‘Bermuda Triangle’, stories! But this really is paradise. Loved the video too, can see you all had a great time including the little one.

August 9, 2019 at 10:24 amI am planning from Bermuda and from your photos it looks that I am making a great choice. In your video, you kid looks adorable and seems like enjoying crispy blue sea. Swimming with dolphins and the view from glass base of boat is very exotic thing to do here.

I really like the pinkish beach and swimming with the dolphins. The fact that it is still far from tourists crowd, it adds another positive value to this island.
