Ouu I love Bermuda. Take alot of pictures and get some of that pink sand as a souviner. Make sure to go snorkeling because its awesome there. Also make sure to stop for a visit at Fort St. Catherine Beach. Theres an old fort right on the water and its soo gorgegous. (you can also take tours) If you want a quieter beach I'd recommend John Smith's Bay or Clearwater Beach. Have fun!!

Remember you will be in international water, don't become a victim of crime.

Don't rent a scooter. The islanders are not very tolerant of novice riders. The bus rides are like runaway trains going down the winding roads and often ride right on the rear bumpers of the scooters. I've seen several people hurt on them. You can't rent a car on the island so get a two day transportation pass good for all buses and ferries. Horseshoe Bay on the southern shore is a beautiful beach. Chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks are available. At night, the "Don't Stop The Carnival" tour is fun and lively.

DO: visit smaller beaches...there are tons of them along the coast, only minutes away from the sometimes-crowded Horseshoe Bay. They're very private. Check out the Swizzle Inn, a neat diner, and the Crystal Caves. St. Georges is the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been, picturesque!DON'T: drive on the right side of the street, or rent a scooter if you're not completely comfortable withdriving it. Don't walk around late at night, or accept drug/prostitute/firearm offers from the locals! Don't cut your toe off on coral (its sharp!) and don't wear a necklace when you're out in the sun...it makes a wicked tan line...People there are very friendly, but sometimes a little too much so... take advantage of the opportunity to learn about their culture, but be wary...
