About Hamilton
Hamilton is the capital of Bermuda, and it is a free port. This means that it is either free of customs or with special (favorable) customs regulations. Hamilton has one of the most beautiful coast lines there are to see, comparable to many islands in the Caribbean. Because of the treacherous ring of coral reefs surrounding the island, it was referred to as “The isle of Devils”.
