BERMUDA ~ St. George's Town - UNESCO ~

... Many lovely views of the beautiful and historic town of St. George’s... the oldest surviving English town in the New World... and my second postcard ever from this exotic island after collecting for over 10 years now😃👍... make a step back in time... this well-preserved charming town and nearby fortress are a haven for British colonial architecture, which features brightly painted stones and masonry buildings... you can also visit Tobacco Bay Beach, a popular pink sand beach and  an excellent spot for snorkeling... Big Thanks Andrene! \_(♥‿♥)_/
Bermuda is a British overseas territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It consists of 138 islands that form a fishhook-shaped landmass.  Bridges and causeways connect the eight largest islands.

St. George's Parish is one of the nine parishes of Bermuda. It is named in honour of the patron saint of England, though it is indirectly regarded as being named for the founder of the Bermuda colony, Englishman Admiral Sir George Somers.

In 2000, the Historic Town of St. George and its Related Fortifications became a UNESCO WHS site.
