Bermuda consists of around 180 islands and islets, situated just off the coast of Cape Hatterras, North Carolina. Although this island is identified as part of the Caribbean the island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Its many coastlines are characterised by small bays with beaches of fine pale pink coral sand and surrounding vivid blue-green waters. Inland is an abundance of subtropical plants and flowers, interspersed with quaint pastel cottages.

The Bermuda climate is sub-tropical, generally being sunny and hot all year round. There are no distinct seasons, but the hottest weather is during July, August and September when temperatures can reach 90°F (32°C). Generally the Gulf Stream keeps temperatures moderate. There is no specific rainy season, showers occurring at any time of year, the skies rapidly clearing.

May to October

The main tourist season runs from March until the end of October, though locals advise that consistently good weather doesn't start until May.
