Bermuda's Pink Beaches

Bermuda's Natural Colours (colors)

Our pink beaches are actually formed by the skeletal remains of a small creature called the red foram found on the undersides of rocks.  Because Bermuda doesn't have any rivers carrying sediments into the sea, our surrounding waters lack nutrients.  Our shallows are turquoise in color because phytoplankton levels here are low as a result of reduced nutrient intensities.  This lack of phytoplankton and the clear seas permit the sun's rays to be reflected off the shallow sandy bottom, giving our waters their famous turquoise hue.

Bermuda is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and offers some amazing diving opportunities.  Bermuda is an island in the Atlantic Ocean 650 miles west of Hilton Head, South Carolina.  The island is not actually in the Caribbean which is a common misconception.  Bermuda is situated directly in the gulf stream which blows all that nice warm Caribbean air north, right at our island.  We are 33 square miles of land situated amongst several connected islands.  Very narrow and only 21 miles long, you will be surprised to find that we proclaim 300 sq miles of dive-able reefs that are home to more than 350 wrecks and thousands of species of fish and countless other marine/aquatic life.
