Bermuda is an unusual place, and not just because of the legendary Bermuda Triangle that carries its name. |

Bermuda's location sets it apart from all the other tropical islands associated with the Caribbean. Like the Bahamas, Bermuda is located in the Atlantic—way out in the Atlantic--some 600 miles east of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and 1,000 miles north of the Caribbean. Compared to the Caribbean, Bermuda is an opposite island because of its location. Since the weather is often quite blustery and cool from fall through spring, summer is Bermuda’s main tourist season. (See Bermuda Weather Best Time to Go) Although Bermuda takes its
name from a Spanish explorer, Bermuda is steeped in British tradition
and sophistication. It clings tightly to a past in which order, efficiency
and consideration were an everyday standard. And it is tightly
controlled, like any good planned community.
No wonder it's a favorite spot for getting married and for honeymoons. The dress code is more formal than most islands. In true British tradition, gentlemen are expected to wear coats and ties in the evening for dinner. Of course, men also wear short pants to any formal occasion as long as they include coat tie and matching shoes and socks. After all, Bermuda shorts originated here. Ladies, of course, are expected to dress a bit more primly and not show quite as much leg on formal occasions. At the beach is fine, of course. Bermuda
