Hamilton, Bermuda
The city of Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda. The majority of Bermuda's government offices and international businesses are located here.
Front Street is Hamilton's main road and runs along the coastline, creating a border between the docks and the city centre (shown on the left coastline of this frame). The majority of the city's restaurants and bars are centralized around this area as well, making it a major hub for business, tourism and entertainment.
The pentagonal shaped land in the foreground of the frame is Fort Hamilton. Originally built in the 1860's, this area was restored for pubic use in the 1960's. It is situated on a hilltop just outside the city.

Bermuda
The sub-tropical archipelago of Bermuda is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, around 1,000 kilometres from the east coast of the United States. This grouping of 138 islands is ranked as having the highest GDP per capita of any country in the world (about 50% higher than that of the US). Despite being a booming financial centre, Bermuda has maintained its British Colonial island lifestyle. Cricket, golf, rugby, football and sailing are some of the most popular sports and pastimes. Bermuda is also famous for its pink sandy beaches and its surrounding coral reefs that are perfect for diving and snorkelling.

Saint George, Bermuda
Saint George, a city with a rich history, was Bermuda's original official capital until 1815. Many old stone buildings, originally from the 1600's, still stand today. These homes were built from Bermuda stone and were based on models and drawings that originally came from England.
Efforts have been made to preserve the historical nature of the city. In the last 380 years, the external British Bermudian architecture has changed very little. The lively town has remained a port and trading centre although its quaintness has been preserved.

A reinforced concrete abutment slab acts as a counterweight to the cantilevered load.

British Virgin Islands
Located in the Eastern Caribbean, to the east of Puerto Rico, the BVI is comprised of four main islands - Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. With over 50 distinct islands and "cays" (a low island or reef) you can immediately see why the BVI is so popular with sailing enthusiasts. The BVI has maintained the delicate balance of a strong economy and quintessential Caribbean lifestyle. The pristine white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters make for excellent diving, snorkeling, surfing and sailing. Residents of the islands take pride in the history and heritage of their islands and celebrate it with festivals, music, folklore and art.

Virgin Gorda is known both for its natural beauty and for its yacht clubs and luxury resorts. On the coast of the North Sound, which is in the foreground, is the Bitter End Yacht Club which is accessible only by water.
Scattered along Virgin Gorda's coastline are a number of deserted, pristine beaches, most of which are located along the far coast at the top of the frame. The most popular natural attraction in the BVI, The Baths, is also located on this coast. It is comprised of huge granite boulders that create mysterious grottoes and saltwater pools.

Grand Cayman, The Cayman Islands
Located in the western Caribbean Sea, just a one hour flight south of Miami, the Cayman Islands are both a booming offshore financial services centre and one of the premier tourist destinations in the world. The Cayman Islands (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman) are a British Crown Colony and are famous for their beautiful beaches, friendly people and year-round tropical temperatures. You can see in this view that the vast majority of development on the island is located towards the west of the island around George Town and Seven Mile Beach. The area that appears somewhat cloudy, to the east of the hammer-shaped peninsula is a natural bay known as North Sound, which is known for its beautiful turquoise water and diverse marine life which includes stingrays, moray eels and the occasional shark (thankfully the relatively harmless variety!)

Smith's Cove & South Sound
South Church Street leads south from George Town into South Sound Road. This long road runs all along the south-western coastline of the island, flanked to the ocean side by many of the islands most salubrious private homes. A few traditional Caymanian cottages remain.
Smith's Cove is a quiet beach tucked away from the main road. Because of its seclusion, this beach tends to be used by local residents more than tourists. It is an excellent location for relaxing on the beach or going for a snorkel.
Just above Smith's Cove is the Dart Park. This new public space is beautifully landscaped and includes a children's play area, a small, outdoor amphitheatre and shaded grassy areas. It is also home to the Cayman Islands National Trust Office.
When the weather conditions are perfectly in synch, there is some good surf just off the most western point of South Sound. Up to 15 or more surfers can be out from sunrise to sunset when the waves are big enough.Kite surfing is also popular when conditions are right.

Savannah & Bodden Town
Savannah and Bodden Town are quiet, residential communities. All of the visible streets are lined with traditional style homes. Many of these have front patios where people still take the time to sit and visit with neighbours or watch the sun rise and set.
Pedro St. James Castle (known locally as "Pee-dro's") is located on the most southern point of the coastline shown at the bottom of the frame. This authentic, early 19th century house is the oldest remaining stone structure in the Cayman Islands. It has recently been restored by the government and is open to the public. Pedro St. James is known as the birthplace of democracy in the Cayman Islands because at this location, on 5 December, 1831, it was decided that representatives from the five districts should be chosen for forming local laws. An election subsequently took place on 10 December 1831 and 5 representatives were elected in this first democratic process.
Nowadays Pedro's is a popular evening event and wedding venue. Our CEO, Steve McIntosh, married his wife April there in January 2006. The wedding, a traditional Scottish affair - kilts, Ceilidh dancing and all - was featured in a Travel Channel special on destination weddings in the Cayman Islands.

East End
Cayman is famous for its dive sites, many of which are located around the east end of the island. These include wall dives, where divers can go down 90ft or more. The wall is on the outside of the reef and is visible at the border where the turquoise water meets the deeper blue water.
A popular dive is 70ft into a vertical canyon that leads to the deepest drop-off (25,000 feet) in the northern hemisphere.This is an excellent place to see sharks and eagle rays.
At Morrit's Tortuga Club, the natural reef creates a warm, calm shoulder-depth lagoon which is perfect for windsurfers from beginners to experts. Not for the feint-hearted, kite-surfing has also taken off there in recent years.
Outside of the resorts, East End is one of the least developed areas of the island. Traditional cottages and homes line the coastline but the inland area is filled with palm trees and other tropical vegetation.
The Blowholes are a natural attraction close to East End. When the trade winds blow hard, crashing waves force water into caverns and send geysers shooting up through the ironshore.
