Bermuda Featured In Fodor’s Travel Guide
Bermuda has been featured in Fodor’s Travel, which highlights the island’s unique culture, pink sand beaches, and Atlantic location that sets it apart from the Caribbean.
The story said, “An island with a very distinct vibe. Aruba, Jamaica/ooh I wanna take ya To Bermuda, Bahamas/come on pretty mama…’
“I can’t be the only one, right? The foolish listener who assumed the islands from the famed song ‘Kokomo’ all belonged in the Caribbean Sea? Should I not have relied on surf-rock legends The Beach Boys as my geography teachers?
“Listen up carefully, beach boys and girls: Bermuda is not the Caribbean. Bermuda is, in fact, its own thing; an inimitable, incomparable country and fusion of cultures. And probably your new favorite vacation destination.
“Ok, So Where Is Bermuda?
“It’s not in the Caribbean Sea. Less than 90 minutes from New York and under two hours from pretty much everywhere on the East Coast, Bermuda is on the same latitude as North Carolina–north of the Caribbean–smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
“It bears repeating: a subtropical island less than 90 minutes from NYC. That’s a quicker trip than to the Hamptons. Everyone in the Northeast loves to escape the city to the Caribbean, but the plane ride south can eat up your travel time. Even with close islands like the Bahamas, it can be a four-hour plane ride, while Aruba’s more like five. Bermuda’s hop, skip, and a jump means you have plenty of time to enjoy the destination, even on trips that only last a weekend.
“But What Is the Bermuda Triangle? But besides ‘Kokomo,’ Bermuda’s infamy feeds its geographical confusion. The wedged area angled between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Florida has [as the legend goes] disappeared planes, ships, and people within the bounds of the Bermuda Triangle. While mostly disproven, the appearance of the Bermuda Triangle and its mysteries have shown up in pop culture across media, from Fleetwood Mac to The X-Files; in Atari and Milton Bradley Games, and in episodes of Scooby Doo. Everyone is worried about the conspiracy of what goes on within the Bermuda Triangle; there isn’t much pop culture conversation about its namesake. The supposed mystery of the triangle feeds even further into the where of it all.”
