Forget the myths about that infamous triangle! Bermuda is one of 2016’s top destinations because it brims with personality and history, with ties to the Native American era!

Filled with pink and white sand beaches, a rich sea life, and with roads that are safe to traverse, this is one destination that should be on top of your list. Make Horseshoe Bay and Spanish Point your priorities.
