Rodney Lorenzo: Visit Bermuda

Bermuda is one of those islands that many Americans don't think about in the same sense as they would a typical Caribbean island. The fact is, its latitude is similar to that of Savannah, Georgia, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Its subtropical climate is warmed up by the nearby Gulf Stream making its winters seem balmy at an average temperature of 68 degrees. It can get cooler than that every now and then, but not too often. The summers are when temperatures can reach a high of 86 degrees or more. The island is not located far south of the states like all Caribbean islands. Therefore, the best time to go is not in the winter where the Caribbean would hold comfortable temperatures. You want to go in June through October. Then, the waters start to become too cold to swim in.

This brings me to what Bermuda, which was discovered in 1505 by Juan de Bermudez, is known for. Its pink sandy beaches. The pink comes from tiny bits of coral which contrast beautifully with the light blue, turquoise waters of its beaches. Coves are found everywhere on the island and make for romantic privacy - something not too common further south among touristy, Caribbean beaches. The island is more expensive than most islands down south, but this makes it a plus with tourists who want privacy. It's not at all uncommon to come across a beach all to yourself. There are designated beaches for tourists, but there are also smaller beaches that have public access.

The island has 64 miles of coastline encircling it, you can rent a scooter and drive from one end of the island to the furthest tip in less than a half hour. Scooters, by the way, are the best and most convenient way to get around. They can take you where city buses - another inexpensive way to get around - cannot. Remember though, as an English colony, people drive on the left side. It's easily manageable when you're on a scooter as opposed to a car. Two lane highways sometimes can make you follow a slow driver, but one is permitted to pass on the right. Car rentals are not allowed, as far as I remember, because of the island's small size. There is a limit on how many cars can be allowed and the priority is given to the natives.

There are ways to get around it if you do a little research. ENJOY.
