Maybe you've seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film series, or gone on the famous Disney ride, but if you want to authentically experience where the pirates were based, and learn about the history of when they were ruling the seas, all while enjoying beautiful beaches, then there are few better locales than Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Sea.

"The island was the preferred destination of the earliest known colonial pirates, a notable one being Henry Jennings," says Jamari Douglas, the vice president of marketing, PR, and communications at Bermuda Tourism Authority. "Jennings is one of the world's most renowned and iconic Black pirates. All around the island, you can still feel the impact of their history. With more than 300 shipwrecks surrounding the island, Bermuda has the most shipwrecks per square mile in the world, providing for endless amounts of discoverable bounty. The island is also surrounded by a ring of coral reefs which protects and caused many of these historic wrecks dating from the 1600s to 1997."
