Right on our doorstep, this tiny bit of Britain has developed a culture all its own. Discover Bermuda's tranquil lifestyle, rum swizzles, pink beaches, turquoise blue bays, and pastel-painted houses that have charmed rich and famous visitors for the past century. Hear its stories of shipwrecks and castaways, sea captains and pirates, men who risked their lives for and against the U.S. during our Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and innovative settlers who turned the "Devil's Isle" into the "Happy Isles filled with Smiles."
Armchair Travels is generously funded with a gift from the Rutherford Family Trust.
