Safety in Bermuda
Tips for British travellers
Bermuda is tourist-friendly but has some key cultural and legal rules:
Take care after dark and avoid quieter, darker streets due to risks of mugging and theft.
Do not drink alcohol in public outside of licensed premises, as it is illegal.
There are no nude or topless beaches, and it is illegal to be topless in public.
Do not become involved with drugs of any kind as penalties include long prison sentences and heavy fines.
If you hire a scooter, be extremely cautious as accidents with cars are common and have caused serious injuries and deaths.
Bonus tips:
Be aware of strong rip currents when swimming, as many locals do not swim in the sea until late May.
Take care while walking outside urban areas, especially at night, as there are few footpaths and limited street lighting.
