Bermuda is being touted as a perfect winter getaway by popular news website The Huffington Post.

An article entitled “11 Reasons Bermuda Is The Easy Getaway You Need In 2015” was posted yesterday urging East Coast travellers to escape the chilly weather by coming to the Island.

Writer Suzy Strutner states: “When the weather outside is frightful, there’s only one thing to do: escape to an exotic isle.

“While you’d think prices would be painfully high for an island vacation, the truth is they are not ... if that island is Bermuda, at least. Just a hop, skip and puddle jump from the East Coast, this beautiful, 24-mile paradise in the Atlantic offers delicious food, postcard-worthy beaches and friendly locals.”

The eleven reasons to visit the Island include the pink beaches, the weather, fish chowder, golf, and the game of Crown and Anchor.

Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and Flanagan’s Irish Pub, which she described as a “little slice of the UK”, are also highlighted in the article.
