BERMUDA ADVENTURE
GUIDE, 2nd Edition
By Blair Howard
This fascinating archipelago sits
isolated in the Atlantic Ocean some 750 miles off the
coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Its 150 islands
and islets trimmed by pink sand beaches evoke a feeling
of tranquility found nowhere else in this world. Still
retaining many British customs, Bermuda is steeped in
history. See places visited by the first settlers, explore
British forts, and wander through outlying villages that
date back to the era of slavery. With an emphasis on outdoor
adventures – hiking, scuba diving, golfing, fishing,
snorkeling, swimming – Blair Howard opens your eyes
to the best of Bermuda. An extensive underwater section
profiles the top dive spots and shipwrecks, with contact
names and numbers of local operators. Sightseeing and
walking tours round out this unique guidebook. Color photos
& maps.

beaches and more good restaurants.
Whatever your desires, St. Martin & St. Barts Alive
covers it all. Dining, shopping, where to stay, what to
see – all offered by an author who has visited these
islands for years. In-margin icons allow you to see at
