Outside, one of America’s leading active lifestyle brands, has selected Bermuda as ‘Best Island’ in its annual Best of Travel awards
The entire list of winners, including Bermuda’s entry, appears in Outside’s April issue, which hit newsstands on March 17, 2015, as well as appearing online.
In determining the award recipients, Outside’s adventure travel veterans scoured the globe in order to identify the best mountains to climb, food to eat, rivers to float, guides to hire, beaches to lounge on, lodges to luxuriate in, and islands to explore.
The result of their effort is 40 breathtaking options, from the guides to show you around, to the cameras to capture it all, to the places to stay, to the best place to grab a snack at a food truck along the way, with Bermuda taking the top spot when it comes to the many offerings of the world’s island paradises.
Bermuda’s entry on the top 40 list says, “A subtropical archipelago of 181 volcanic islands, Bermuda won the bid to host the 2017 America’s Cup, thanks to near perfect North Atlantic sailing conditions.”
“Beyond wind, the British Overseas Territory, just a two-hour flight from New York City, has 75 miles of pink-sand beaches interspersed with jagged limestone cliffs, many of which are perfect for deep-water soloing and hucking into the Atlantic from the top. Stay at Elbow Beach, a 50-acre hideaway with a private stretch of sand on the southern shore.”
