It’s time to begin planning your summer escapes, and what sounds better than sandy pink beaches only two hours from your apartment? So if you’re trying to decide on what tropical destination to visit, we recommend Bermuda!
A direct flight from NYC to Bermuda is only 2 hours and 15 minutes. If you were to drive to Cape May on the Jersey Shore, the fastest route would take you 2 hours and 30 minutes—and I think we can all agree that we rather be vacationing on a beach in Bermuda than one in New Jersey.
Bermuda is notorious for it’s breathtaking pink sand beaches that are a result of powdered coral and shells in the sand. The most popular Bermuda beaches are Horseshoe Bay and Warwick Long Bay. Additionally, snorkeling is a beloved tourist activity in the area, along with parasailing and jet ski tours.
If you’ve had enough time swimming in the ocean, you can explore the UNESCO World Heritage site, St. George’s. This beautiful town features historic 18th-century buildings, St. Peter’s Church, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ve ever seen.
JetBlue offers direct flights from NYC’s JFK to Bermuda’s BDA airport. Moreover, JetBlue and Bermuda Tourism Authority have even teamed up to bring New Yorkers a chance to visit Bermuda on a complimentary trip with an exciting sweepstakes activation taking over Manhattan’s Meatpacking District on Thursday, May 2nd.
