“Bermuda Is Most Rad Beach Vacation Ever”
Fox News Travel has highlighted Bermuda, saying that if you “pick a point, east or west; no matter the route, you’ll be awash in Bermuda’s photogenic appeal: colorful stucco outcrops, amazing harbor views, and a string of postcard beaches.”
The article said ”Bermuda’s locals like to describe their island homeland with a joke: ‘It’s 68,000 alcoholics clinging to a rock.’ But that description isn’t at all accurate. Most of them are also clinging to their golf clubs.
“This outcropping of coral and sand of finely ground seashells 650 miles east of the Outer Banks certainly has a preoccupation with rum [which is tasty enough to warrant the attention], golf [there are more courses per square mile than anywhere else], and genteel pursuits like sailing.
“Its pink beaches are the site of countless romantic declarations; its crystal caves are a day trip for hordes of cruise ship passengers.
“But lately Bermuda has been set upon by a more adventurous people who exploit the natural riches sometimes overlooked between the marquee golf courses and the honeymoon coves.
“They’re bounding along jungle trails by bike, rock climbing, and doing backflips off cliffs into the turquoise coves below.”
Blessed to be living in my Island Paradise.Peace.
Another example of a PR win for Bermuda due to the work of the team at the BTA.
Let’s not forget its population who are forever sharing our love for our Island via social media and the like. There’s not a day that goes by that we aren’t posting photos of our beaches, our sunrises/sunsets, our restaurants, and our people! We deserve a pat on our backs too!
68,000 alcoholics chained to a rock, great PR win BTA.
I view it as a positive thing…it’s very obviously a gross exaggeration for comedic effect, and it makes us sound fun and laid back, which helps counteract our “stuffy” reputation amongst some potential visitors.
“genteel” lol
