Travel Info Why do 'Answers' put Bermuda in the Carribean when it is not in the Carribean? Travel Tips Bermuda's geographical location is difficult to classify because of its relative isolation from any other land mass. (meaning, there aren't any other islands close to it) They most likely put it in the Caribbean category not so much for its actual *location* but more for its type of culture, lifestyle, etc. In that respect, it's MUCH more alike when compared to actual Caribbean countries like the Virgin Islands, St. Maarten, etc. Others An error? It was made by people who make mistakes you know. Hmmmm....they figure it is an island so...they figure all islands should be together :) because there's no good place else to list it.....even though it's 600 miles north of the Caribbean, off the coast of North Carolina, the Gulf Stream keeps it sorta warm in winter , making it a sorta-semi-tropical island; geographically and politically its not in the Bahamas....which aren't in the Caribbean either......not part of the Turks and Caicos, as was said, or the Caymans..so for lack of anywhere else its lumped into "the Caribbean" as a general listing. Source(s): live in the actual Caribbean: St Thomas VI Source(s): live in the actual Caribbean: St Thomas VI Exactly. It isn't Yes good point, plus the Bahamas is not in the Carribean either :) |
