Bermuda has served as a British naval stronghold between North America and the Atlantic since the early 19th century. This British Overseas Territory is formed by a compact group of islands in the North Atlantic, where limestone reefs shelter shallow waters and pink-sand beaches. The Great Sound is a broad natural harbour beside the former Royal Naval Dockyard, now home to museums, shops and ferry links. In St George’s, founded in 1612, narrow streets and stone buildings recall one of the oldest surviving English settlements in the Americas; the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Bermuda’s Gombey dancers and fish chowder add distinctive local traditions to its maritime setting. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Bermuda’s islands.
